    Audio Mixer to Ham Use

    I got this unit by way of auction on eBay



    The plan is to use it to run audio from my PSK interface, my Auto-ID'er and, my Microphone. The output will go to my radio (IC-706MKIIG) through a RJ-45 plug.

    Has anyone had any experience with something like this?

    Yes. Not that particular model.
    Wind toroidal chokes on both ends of each cable used. This is a must as the audio units not originally intended for an RF environment are prone to pick up the RF and add it back to the audio and cause feedback.

    Yes, and you have just enough inputs to do it, without mods. Use one channel (left or right) and don't use the phono inputs. You may have some fun keeping RF out of things, but fire it up, that can be fixed later.

    For not much more money, a new Behringer Xenyx 502 can be had, a mixer that I use and recommend.

    But the Pyramid unit is more hamsexual, somehow.

    Oh YEAH, baaaby.

    And let's not get into the "pin 1" problem with sound cards. Yet.

    But, wait--the Xenix has KNOBS!
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Yeah, but more than a pair is too much for any guy to handle. Well, most men at least.

    Not to boast or anything--that's not my style--but I can handle more than a pair of knobs at a time, and have.
