    Hi Jimmy

    No.  There is no Audio on the USB connector so you can't do it that way.    Do it the old fashion would be a step backwards.

    I see you are having issues with WSJTx.  Have you tried using SliceMaster to get things working?

    This video might help you out to get it working the way it was designed to work.

    And I will add that with an "M" model, you do NOT need to run SSDR. You need to install it because that's how you get Cat and Dax, but once installed, just start Cat and Dax (after configuring, of course) by themselves and allow the "M" front panel to control aspects of the radio that wsjt-x cannot control (i.e. bandwidth, filters etc).

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
