[digitalradio] Sound Card Interfacing.

2007-11-20 Thread Kevin Natalia
Hi All,

I am wondering if it is possible to use one of these USB headsets as my sound 
interface to my TS-480S/AT, with some modification (cut the headset off).

I brought one of these awhile ago cheap (on special), a PowerWave Speaker/Mic 
headset, and have been using it on my computer for Skype. Audio sounds good, so 
thought I might use it for digital modes, and would allow me to switch over 
with different computers easily.
I am guessing the sound card gear is in the bubble unit along the cable, so all 
I would need to do is ensure I have speaker and mic from inside the headset 
itself.

I would like to buy a proper USB computer/radio interface, but this is low on 
my priority list (wife wants new stuff for the new house).
So if this works, I might try and go this way.

Anyone done it this way? If so, how did it work out?
If not, anything I should be looking at?

Now after all that I need to get an HF antenna up, and get some radios on air.

Thanks in advance.

Kevin, ZL1KFM.

Kevin, you can use use a USB sound adapter from Geeks.com 
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=HE-280Bcat=GDT  It works great. If 
you have any feedback or ground loop problems, just insert an isolation 
transformer in the transmit audio line.
