Ron, I'm not familiar with the Conexant audio device. However, many laptops do not have a stereo input such as a Line In. The microphone input is usually mono. You are going to need the stereo/line-in input in order to have the SDR work correctly. If you don't have such an input on your laptop you will need an external USB audio adapter. I am using the SoundBlaster X-Fi USB with my HP laptop.
As a side note, I have added the Clifton Labs buffer amplifier (X-10000 ?) to my K2 and am using one of the SoftRock Lites tailored for the K2 for a panadaptor. Yes, I realize that the K2 doesn't provide an IF output, but I found that a K2-owner in Germany had tapped in to the K2 IF and had published the description (in German, naturally). I think I have a translation of the article around here somewhere if anyone is interested. 73, Jim - W4BQP K2 #2268 Ron Midwin wrote: > > Fellow Elecraft enthusiasts, > > > > I just ordered the SoftRock Lite from Tony, KB9YIG, below.
