Dave:

What is it that you "almost don't believe" ?

That it is this good?  Or that it is this bad?

Remember that the sound card has a sampling clock, that also contributes to any errors.

If it is a regular computer sound card, then it is using the same $0.33 crystal reference as the
rest of the computer.

I've been testing my soundcard measurement capability with Speclab, so I hooked 
my LPRO Rb to lock my Moto Service Monitor, fed the 1K audio out into the sound 
card and I measured the freq over about a half hour.  I got a spread of about 
107uHz.  I've tried a few other things through my TS2000 using a 1500Hz tone 
from the USB and I can see when the fan goes on and off although I have the RX 
main osc locked to the GPSDO with the XRef from VK3HZ.  I can only assume the 
drifting in the RX is due to the DSP processing crystal drifting with temp.  I 
get about 13mh drift on that.  Anyhow, here's a shot of the 1000Hz directly 
into the soundcard with Speclab.

almost don't believe it, does anyone else?
