Re: [Dx4win] we lost the 5th soundcard in 803
Personally, I would buy a solution the microKeyer with built-in USB sound card. Barring that, I would research sound cards that have passed the WriteLog Sound Board Check: http://www.writelog.com/downloads.htm Sound Board Check V9.22 7f (hex) is considered the best score. Also not all sound cards are properly supported by the various microHAM products. Something about the various sound card inputs, and I think it applies mostly to Vista/Win7. Check both the WriteLog and microHAM reflector archives for details. Keep in mind what slots your PC has. PCI is getting replaced by PCI-e. You may not have enough slots if you want a real serial/parallel PCI card and a second (or two) sound cards, especially if you already have a graphics card that takes one or two PCI-e slots. Best to get the most-compatible sound card you can, for future expansion. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

The Turtle Beach Montego seems a bit over-kill, but has full S/P DIF I/O and their Win 7 drivers are expected out by the end of the month. The only reason I am dwelling a bit on S/P DIF is my radio (ICOM IC-7700) supports both S/P DIF input and output. I want to thank the moderators of this group for their indulgence with this OT subject. You and I should probably take this off-line.

Use a good one for the digital stuff, and any piece of rubbish to make Windows noises. Something inexpensive from Creative usually does the job for digital. If I were doing it over, I would use a digital interface with a built-in USB sound card, not a PC card.

[Dx4win] we lost the 5th soundcard in 803
We could choose one of 5 soundcards in 802. Now we have just 4 soundcards in 803. The presentation is much better now as we can see the name of the soundcard. 73 Kostas SV1DPI __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
