[Elecraft] USB Sound Adaptor

[Clint]

Richard,

WOW, how can anyone make money with a price like that?
It does not mention speed or bit depth or chip however, so I went to the mfg 
web site, SYBA USA. This is not the same device. The one we bought is a 
SD-AUD20101 (http://sybausa.com/productInfo.php?iid=1191&currentPage=0) so 
don't feel bad about paying more!
I have been using it as a sound card and it is working well but I am not set 
up for I/Q signals....
Just waiting for my KX3...

Clint
