Good point Jim - I hadn't thought it through to consider/realize that the sound card is a full duplex device and therefore can handle TX and RX devices both concurrently and independently.

I agree.. the only potential advantage of an integrated solution is that you could use the same DDS for both Tx and Rx. BTW, you don't need a second sound card. Run the audio out from the PC to your TX SDR-1000 and your audio in comes from the RX SDR-1000.
