Hi Sasi, A Flex 3000 doesn't require a sound card. It has its own ADC and DAC.
I can't comment on the suitability of your Lifebook but perhaps others can. There seem to be several Lifebook models with significant differences in their processing power. Which one do you have?

Hi all I ordered a Flex 3000 last week and am eagerly waiting for the radio to run up. In the mean time I have been trolling through all the literature available on this great radio. My plan is to use this radio exclusively on digital modes. I have a Fujitsu Lifebook computer with a burst soundcard. My observation so far is that the Flex 3000 does not use the sound card of the computer. Am I correct in assuming that I can get away using this computer without the soundcard? Will this impact on the operation of this radio? The issue I have is that my desktop computer in the shack (A Dell GX620) does not have a firewire port and there is abslutely no room in the machine to accomodate one. The last resort is to buy another laptop. 73 Sasi VK5SN
