There's been some discussion about this on the linuxham list. If you buy a small USB hub, a USB-serial adapter and a small USB audio codec, you could pack them into a box with a single USB-B jack on one side for the computer, and a DIN, DB9 or whatever else you have laying around on the other side for the radio.
I don't know about the availability or price of these components in NZ, but in the US you can get it all from geeks.com for under $20. -Joe, N8FQ On Sun, 23 Dec 2007 23:35:19 +1300 "Gmail - Home" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi All, > > Strange question I am sure, but please bare with me. > > I like to build a lot of my own gear, allows me to learn new things along the > way, it also saves a heap of money considering the prices some of the > interfaces are costing. > I have so far been using a soundcard and direct connection to my TS-480S/AT, > with a small interface. > Now I want to go a little further and build a slightly better one, but I want > to build one with a usb connection so it makes a quick changeover. > I have looked through Google with little success, so I am asking does anyone > know where one could find information on building a USB sound w/interface? > If not I will have to stick with my current interface. > > Thanks and A Merry Christmas/Season Greetings from Sunny NZ. > > Kevin, ZL1KFM.
