Muscat,
I use the Steinberg UR22, but I have used other cards. A number of my local friends are using Asus cards. They work well. The site that has the NaP3 /LPBridge software has a list of recommendations. They seem right. Just make sure you get a 24 bit card that samples at 96KHz or more; I use 192KHZ. This will allow you to do spectrum display quite well and other software like CW Skimmer off the very same I&Q data stream.

A card useful for spectrum is massive overkill for running the digital modes. A simple 16 bit or better card running 44 KHz will work, like the card in your computer. I use the SignaLink USB. I can do this simultaneously while reading out the spectrum. That means you can have a fair degree of flexibility.

If you really want to go crazy, get a copy of Win4K3. Your KX3 than becomes the engine for a fully integrated operation. The down side is you will end up needing either 2-3 monitors or one very big one.

Subject: [Elecraft] USB Soundcard

Please could anyone shed some light as to what type of USB Sound card I can use as my entire range of Laptops - are only fitted with Mic-In and not a Stereo Line-In.

I have managed to procure a stereo 2.5 to 3.5mm male-male audio lead.

I am hoping to be able to see the I/Q output from my recently built KX3 - using some software tools.

Looking forward to hearing what works/does not work well.

Many thanks

Tim, A45wg. Muscat
