I didn't listen to the UK Elecraft net this morning so I'm not aware of the context, however when I 
started building Softrock's I encountered the familiar centre frequency spike/noise problem. This 
was cured completely by changing the cable between the SR and soundcard to a Maplin L44AU  
http://www.maplin.co.uk/  

The photo on the Maplin page is not clear enough to see, but there are actually two separately 
screened cables, one for each channel, rather than the more common (cheap) version which 
has both signal cables wound together inside a single screen.

Anyway, its works for me.
