Thanks for the reply! Please add me to the list of interested Hams.
I just noticed a post that mentioned a E-MU device that is apparently available in a USB form, would that connect and function similar to the Edirol and perform as well? BTW: What level of computing power do you anticipate as necessary for the Edirol app to run well? > A local friend (Mel) and I are playing with Edson'e sdr-shell program > under Linux.
