[Elecraft] SDR_Sound_Cards

[David Gilbert]

I don't believe that the M-Audio Delta 44 has been available for quite 
some time ... I'm pretty sure it has been discontinued. M-Audio does 
make other cards, though.

N8LP (the guy who makes the LP-Pan) has a page on his website that shows 
the results he got with a few of the better currently available sound 
cards.  Go to www.telepostinc.com and click on the "Sound Card Page" 
link at the left hand side of the page.  I think he has also tested some 
other cards (including some fairly expensive ones) that are not shown on 
that page, most of which have poor performance or some other deficiency 
that would exclude them from serious consideration for SDR purposes.  
When in doubt, ask.  I know he reads this reflector, and there is also 
one on Yahoo dedicated to the LP-Pan.
