I think that the key is non-proprietary and commonly available, as well as low cost. Outboard USB sound card devices are increasing in popularity and some have speculated (no data yet) that they *may* avoid some of the noise of internal cards. "Cheap" and "Ham" is less about using low quality as it is about finding ways to make less costly devices do amazing things! -- Thanks! & 73, doc, KD4E ... somewhere in FL URL: bibleseven (dot) com Need a Digital mode QSO?
