Hi John
Have you considered interfacing a contesting
program like Writelog or N1MM, etc to your radio?
Contesting programs typically include CW/voice
(macro) replay, and provide for repetitive
voice/CW messages as well. N1MM is free and I
think it would work for the playbacks you want.

Looking to the future, you might want to consider using TWO monitors
with the 5000a computer. I use two, rotated 90 deg (they stand on
end). Some video cards, like my Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT, allow this.
When using several accessory programs with PowerSDR the additional
pixels are handy.
BTW,
but Power SDR seems to want
to monopolise and flog the 4th core.
Is the difference in the 6MB of L3 Cache (where the athlon I use
doesn't have any) ?

About a month ago, Tim, N9PUZ, asked about a bare bones computer kit
at Tiger Direct which used the subject mobo. Neal Campbell commented
he had formerly used the mobo in one of the computers he sold and
said it would work well with SDR.

Those of us using the 5000a in FMTs have discovered it often does
_very_ well, often within millihertz.

I think they are talking about TTL logic levels - read up on TTL
transition levels on google. IIRC, HIGH is maybe 3-4V.

Not prudent until you measure actual RF voltage levels coming back
down the feedlines. Shoot for something less than 100 mV or so. You
probably won't damage anything at that level.
To get it down to that level, you can use coaxial stubs, bandpass
filters, and antenna separation. I am able to
You need the sound card in line to convert to analog, so use VAC as
the input to the sound card and plug the speaker into the sound card.
