Re: [Elecraft] kx3 IQ to laptop
John, My old (2000?) Toshiba Satellite 2450 has, in addition to the microphone jack (monaural), a Line-in jack (stereo) as well as a 25 pin Parallel Port. It weighs 3 kg. I prefer the feel of its keyboard to that of my newer Toshiba Qosmio F20, which does not have a Line-in jack. Sorry that I missed your first question. 73, Geoff LX2AO On August 23, 2012 at 12:15 AM, John Buck KH7T wrote: I gather that no one has found a small laptop with stereo input ( mike or line in) that will work with no external adapter except for sound cable.

Re: [Elecraft] kx3 IQ to laptop
I have a ~3 year ol Samsung N120 netbook that seems to work fine. I've only just installed HDSDR, but it was able to decode SSB signals OK. I had to swap the left an right channels, but no other problems. I was actually a little surprised as I had never tried to use the mic input previously.

Re: [Elecraft] kx3 IQ to laptop
To add to the list, my older HP Pavilion DV7 with Vista Home Premium has a line in. It is labelled as external mic but is really a stereo line in with switchable preamp. The sound device is by IDT and the drivers support 24 bits at 192KHz! Unfortunately, like so many other motherboard sound devices, the noise level is so high that external USB sound devices provide significantly better performance with demodulated audio. I have not even attempted to try the built-in sound with direct I/Q audio due to the noise level. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 8/22/2012 7:22 PM, Greg wrote: Look at the hp slate 500.

Its input is labeled Mic In but can be set via the Windows Audio taskbar control to stereo line in with 192K sampling.

Re: [Elecraft] kx3 IQ to laptop
If you are using the MME driver selection or one of the other Windows drivers, try going into the Windows Mixer and set the recording level to 5 rather than the default 100. 73, Larry N8LP Joe Subich, W4TV-4 wrote To add to the list, my older HP Pavilion DV7 with Vista Home Premium has a line in.

Re: [Elecraft] kx3 IQ to laptop
Have you looked around yourself yet? Though not small, my 17 HP dv6 laptop has stereo input on-board. I am sure there are several others. Just takes some research...

Stereo line inputs started disappearing from laptops almost ten years ago. How about this adapter? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/676980-REG/DJ_Tech_MINI_2_USB_Mini_2_USB_1_8_to.html BTW -- I just learned that the $70 Tascam US100 interface I've been recommending has been discontinued. The replacement appears to be the US122, which BH is selling for $80. The US122 has the additional feature of 96 kHz or 48 kHz sampling rate, which means that it would be useful for spectrum display, or to drive skimmer. 73, Jim K9YC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] kx3 IQ to laptop
Hi John, The KX3 I/Q seems to work fine with my HP Pavilion DV6 Windows 7 64 bit laptop. It comes with sound card inputs for MIC and PHONES. The built-in audio is IDT and I have the options of selecting 2 channel input in 16 or 24 bit sampling rates, from 44100 to 192000 Hz. For JT65A in WSJT, though, I use 24 bit sampling at 44100 Hz (a multiple of 11025 Hz, for which JT65A was written). It seems many of the more recent laptop computers have such built-in sound card flexibility.
