Hi Nigel:

I know that is technically and intuitively correct but I never saw a lick of difference in ANY digi mode I have run between the old SB and the new 24bit/192Khz cards I have. I have tried several different audio interfaces ( I do commercial digital recording of everything from full symphony to small groups). Only when I use the card for the SDR set up do I see any actual operation difference.

In PSK, any station I could see as a trace would decode.

Not disagreeing at all with the argument for low noise cards but my practical experience with the SB cards has been very good.

I suspect that, especially with the Phase modulated modes like PSK, there are some issues with phase coherence and phase linearity thru the system that could affect decoding. Maybe I got lucky with my two old cards.

Although you'll copy far more station if it is high quality/low noise, at least on the Rx side.

I doesn't take a high capability sound card either.
