[Elecraft] USB Sound Card for digital modes.

[Kenneth A. Christiansen]

Hi. to the group.
Thanks to the several people that sent me hints about my problems. I put 
several of the letters together and came up with a solution that works 
well for me.
 I bought the Creative Sound Blaster X-FI-GP SB1100 and it is now 
working just like I was used to before the Windows7 upgrade. I was able 
to make it work by plugging it directly into the lap top but I was short 
of USB ports so I plugged it into the USB hub and had to find my unused  
USB hub power supply to have enough power to make it work there. I have 
the keyboard, mouse, K3 and the Sound Blaster all connected to the hub. 
I also had to replace the KUSB with another USB to serial coverter as 
the KUSB still worked on one Windows 7 computer but not on this main 
one. It would key the rig instead of polling the rig about once a 
second. I reloaded the operating system and it lasted about 2 hours and 
started giving me the same trouble again. So far the new USB to serial 
card is not giving me any trouble.

Thanks for you help.
