Try this link, Tim. I ordered five of the adapters, all had the C-Media chip, and all worked very well. Don't know if Geeks.com can guarantee shipping only the C-Media version, but maybe you can ask them. The audio output is a little less than with some soundcards, but that is usually not a problem - just readjust the level controls under Windows. Also use this adapter under Linux for NBEMS.
The PTT output works, but it is hard for me to work with such tiny parts, so I just use VOX for PTT switching - no need to even open it up. Be careful about putting too much strain on the USB adapter when it is plugged into the USB port as you can break the connection to the circuit board if it bends too far. http://images.qrvc.com/usbfob.pdf Good luck! 73, Skip KH6TY NBEMS Development Team Tim N9PUZ wrote: > > > Tiny circuit work isn't a problem.
