| The microphone audio is completely
isolated from all other grounds. The three sound card audio signals are isolated using three audio transformers. The computer is isolated
using, three DPDT relays, three opto-isolators and a isolating DC to DC converter. A high grade DC blocking capacitor is on the sound card
to mic. output for use with radios that are designed for use with amplified or electret microphones.
The relays provide adequate current and voltage capability to switch tube rigs. The relays also provide automatic
switching between sound card audio, transmit muting and our mic. override and mic. interrupt features. |

| The microphone audio is completely
isolated from all other grounds. The sound card audio is isolated using an audio transformer. The serial and PTT circuits
are isolated using, two DPDT relays, and an opto-isolator. A high grade DC blocking capacitor on sound card to mic. output
is provided for use with radios that are designed for use with amplified or electret microphones.
The relays provide adequate current and voltage capability to switch tube rigs. The relays also provide automatic

| The line level (data jack) audio is completely
isolated from all other grounds. The sound card audio is isolated using two audio isolation transformers for both transmit and
receive. The PTT and CW keying circuits are fully isolated using a dual opto-isolator.
Unlike the RIGblaster pro and plus, the RIGblaster Data Jack plug&play was designed for specific radios and as such will only work with specific radios.
See our RIGblaster Data Jack Plug&Play Radio Compatibility Chart which shows what radios are supported, what adapter cables are required, and what optional cables are available.

|
| The sound card audio is isolated from ground
using an audio transformer. A high grade DC blocking capacitor on the sound card to mic. output is provided for use with
radios that are designed for use with amplified or electret microphones. An opto-isolator provides fully isolated PTT
control or CW keying.
Unlike the RIGblaster pro and plus, which use relays for PTT keying, the nomic's opto-isolator will not safely key an older
tube rig. The CW keying and PTT keying circuits are only designed to work with modern solid state radios.
