FWIW: Counting sunspots is a fairly arcane diversion.  The generally accepted [although by no means universally] is the Wolf Number, Wn=k(10g+s), where g denotes the number of groups [sunspots tend to come in groups, not always individually discernible], s denotes the number of individual

Focusrite is a well known mfr of pro and semi-pro audio gear with a good reputation, but their products are overpriced for what we need for ham radio. I would expect it to work well. Here's an applications note I wrote about 5 years ago and updated a year or two ago. The ASUS U5 is a very
