He is, in fact, correct; in digital modes, the '817 expects the audio
at the rear DATA connector. I don't think this is explicitly stated
in the manual. You can run digimodes from the regular microphone &
headset jacks using USB/LSB, FM, etc. Can anyone elaborate on the
benfits of one vs. the other? I know you can (theoretically, anyway)
use the built-in VOX by using the microphone jack; anything else?
