Tim, About the line-in / mic in a simple laptop:
Before going through the process of buying a super usb external soundcard, check the windows configuration - sound of your laptop and look at recording devices. You'll probably find the mic. Then check the properties of that connection. In the advanced settings you MAY find that the mic can be configured as stereo with 96k or 192k sampling.
My 2010 Samsung cheap N210 netbook can run stereo 96k and give a nice panafall with NAP3! It ties up the processor :-) but I can still log my QSO's at the same time. My doughter's 6 year old medium priced Toshiba laptop does 192k, without any problem.
So don't let the word 'mic' or the little mic-picture on the side trick you. Check it first in the software settings.
My two cents worth. 73 Arie PA3A Op 19-1-2016 om 4:20 schreef a45wg:
Please could anyone shed some light as to what type of USB Sound card I can use as my entire range of Laptops - are only fitted with Mic-In and not a Stereo Line-In. I have managed to procure a stereo 2.5 to 3.5mm male-male audio lead. I am hoping to be able to see the I/Q output from my recently built KX3 - using some software tools. Looking forward to hearing what works/does not work well. Many thanks Tim, A45wg.
