David,
There is nothing wrong with USB powered soundcards *if* the USB power is
well filtered.
Some soundcards do that better than others.
One place to look for soundcards that have been tested by the
manufacturer of LP-Pan is at his website www.telepostinc.com.
Yes, all of Larry's info is Windows based, but the soundcard hardware
info should be valid no matter what the OS may be.
The LP-Pan yahoo group reflector is a good place to obtain additional
information about soundcards and the LP-Pan as well as LP-Bridge.

Hi,
Splitting off from the Signalink thread, since it's actually a different
question, what are the current external sound cards that people suggest
(that are supported in Linux if known - if not - that's ok)?
I see the Tascam mentioned in the PDF in the other thread, so I'm looking
into those (the ones that support 192kHz now, that is) - are there any
other suggestions to look into? I operate on a lot of digital modes, but my
Lenovo Thinkpad T400's built in sound card adds a lot of noise to the
signal I'm receiving. I have a Native Instruments Audio Kontrol 1 which
works much better, but it is USB powered (it seemed to be indicated this
was a no-no for best decoding in digital modes in the other thread).
There are a lot of options out there now, so it's hard to sift through them
all, and make a guess as to which are best for HF radio digital
communication, so I thought a thread would be helpful in getting some ideas
on what is tested/true. If Linux support is unknown, that's ok - I can do
that research - but it would be great to have a list to start looking at
that are known good performers with low noise.
