Same here. I spent several hours going through them, and bookmarked several for serious study. I learned more about ham radio from the detector output to the speakers than I ever knew. Thanks, Jim. Eric KE6US On 6/28/2013 9:55 PM, david Moes wrote: Jim: Wish I had read some of these articles

I've always suspected the computer sound card was a limiting factor in receiving digital modes. I recently bought the recommended EMU0204 for use with LP-PAN. While waiting for the parts to bring out the K2 IF, I tried the EMU 0204 in place of the computer sound card for JT65-HF. There was

Jim, If you follow Jim Brown's advice in his RFI tutorial, you do not need to go the the expense of a RigBlaster or SignaLink at all - a good quality external soundcard will do the job at a much lower price. Bond the computer and the radio together as Jim advises, and transformer isolation
