[Elecraft] Elecraft USB interface.

[Joel Black]

Gil,

I have used a SLUSB for years.  I have used it on everything from PSK31 
to Olivia to JT65 (HF).  It works.  Could it be better? Perhaps.  I am 
familiar with the pages you link below.  In my opinion, the "juice is 
not worth the squeeze."

All that said, this is amateur radio.  One of the things that set us 
apart from other radio services is our "experimental nature."

In my opinion, if you're looking for the absolute lowest NF (i.e. weak 
signal VHF and above), buy the SLUSB and make the mods or buy something 
else.  If you're working HF, it just ain't gonna matter. When I can copy 
JT-65HF at 22 dB below the NF, I'm good with that.

73,
Joel - W4JBB
