[Fun discussion. Thanks.]
Many years ago, somebody on the FPGA newsgroup pointed out that, in general,
if you can do the problem in software that's probably the better way. One of
the considerations is that it's easier to hire pr

I'm missing something. How much memory do you have on your laptop?

Hi Rex,
Here is a plot of my sound card. Maybe I'm just lucky with this particular
sound card/computer, but the drift was only about 250 micro Hertz over a
four hour period. Also for critical measurements I try to run at 200 Hz
center frequency rather than 1000 Hz. Cuts the error by five. Maybe t

Hi all
Thank you all for you advice and suggestions re my request. At this stage
it does not look like there is a simple solution of a readily available USB
sound card that can be locked to a 10 MHz GPSDO reference.
The constraints of portable operation with a Laptop rule out a number of

Hello The Net:
For portable operations with a laptop, usually only one input channel is
available
and it is at mike (not line) level.
The alternative to sum the analog reference and the analog signal of
interest may be
possible if the reference noise can be kept out of the signal of
interest

Hi Jeff
Thanks for your advice which I will follow up - the reason for going for a
USB sound card is that the system must be operated portable with a Laptop -
but perhaps there is a way to use a PCI sound card on a Laptop.
While we use WSJT at present we have a new Mode under development for the

Soundcards for USB are poor at best.
I have a set of PCI cards that were previously made by EMU and they accept
external reference input. They no longer make the model I have but perhaps
they have another PCI card with an external ref input.
I am interested in your modulation technique which
Hi all
Does anyone have any experience of locking a USB external soundcard to a
GPSDO 10 MHz reference.
I am interested in advice on any good quality soundcards that can be readily
locked to either 10 MHz or if necessary to some other frequency that we can
derive from a GPSDO source. I have d
