[Elecraft] SDR_Sound_Cards

I'm not sure what problems you're having, but the 0202 and 0204 in my tests
perform better than any of adozen cards I have tested except the E-MU 1212m.
The 0204 has the edge over the 0202 in terms of flexibility when it comes to
win7/64. If you don't need 192kHz, I highly recommend the M-Audio Audiophile
2496 PCI card at $75. The ASUS cards are good at 96kHz, but fall apart at
192kHz. The Delta 44 was once the best card out there, and it's still
decent, but I haven't used one in several years, whereas I have the others
all still installed on my shack PC.
