I am glad that I started soundcard programs way back before commercial interfaces were born. It is so simple to make. I bought two 600-ohm pc board 1:1 audio transformers from RS and one 2n3904, some resistors and caps. That was to set up my FT-847 on psk-31. I then used the interface to run the WSJT suite of programs.
When it came time to interface my K3, it was way more simple: connect line-in and line out audio with standard computer cables and connect a RS-232 patch cable with sub-D 9-pin connectors. Of course I have a computer with a RS-232 serial port and run winXP. I guess it you are using a brand new win7 quad-core computer with only USB ports it might be more difficult. You would have to get a USB/RS-232 cable. I have more problems with finding the dialog boxes in the computer to adjust audio in/out levels. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 144-1.4kw*, 432-100w*, 1296-testing*, 3400-winter?
