Flippin' eck Eddie - talk about over engineering !
My ALL mode interface is:
3.5mm jack plug from soundcard.
Connects to an old 240v > 9v transformer (scrap) for isolation.
Bit of wire to mic plug.
Rig set on VOX etc.
On receive - I just *stand* an old 99p telephone pick up coil on top
of rig where speaker is. No physical connection.
Plugs into soundcard.
My component count is less than yours - I win ;-)
