The crucial question is if your are doing timenuttery or radionuttery. If you are doing timenuttery, you want you ADC synchronized to your OCXO/Rb/Cs or whatever you have, and you don't want to have to deal with getting your IF frequency locked too. Soundcards use inconvenient frequencies and are seldom built to take an external clock signal. >The useful bandwidth of LF to HF radio is about 9kHz, You need more than 25kHz for good Loran-C -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
