• Sound card Right channel audio detector and FSK/CW driver  
  - FSK output for FLDIGI "pseudo-FSK" and cocoaModem OOK mode 
  - Provides a "hard keyed" CW output for software that generates only audio (sidetone) CW
• Independent keying buffers for Power Amplifier and LNA switching
  - extended range solid state output for low voltage T/R lines or QSK
  - relay isolated output for vintage PA with negative voltage T/R lines
  - Bypass LNA before activating both PTT circuits for EME or scatter
• Footswitch input with programmable functions
  - programmable PTT activation delay in 1ms steps
  - selectable muting of CW and/or FSK when footswitch is closed
• Squelch input for signaling to computer
  - two inputs, one is active low, second is active high
  - ideal for Echolink and remote interfacing applications
• No external power adapter (where the radio provides auxiliary power)
  - No noisy DC to DC converters
  - USB and Sound chip are powered from the computer USB port
  - Controller is powered from transceiver or transceiver power supply
