With the "rush" by hams to using laptops for their ham station (lack of room is an often cited reason), they will find no Line-in - only mic-in, and that mic-in is not stereo either.
While I believe that a desktop computer sitting under the operating table with real serial ports and real soundcards will serve the ham community much better than laptops, my words seem to fall on deaf ears. With a desktop on the floor, you can choose the monitor size that fits your operating position and you can even use a wireless mouse and keyboard if cables are a problem. So --- the move to "Microphone" rather than Line-In is being caused by the more frequent use of laptops in the ham station. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/27/2012 4:55 PM, Holger Schurig wrote: > I wonder why so many designs talk about the "Microphone" input on the PC. > > Is a "Line in" that uncommon? > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
