[Elecraft] External sound cards

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

If you're talking about a fully featured amateur radio interface, the
standard are those from microHAM - including DigiKeyer II (CAT and
digital modes with WinKey) and microKEYER II (CAT, digital modes,
WinKey *and* full microphone handling for DVK, etc.).

For sound card only situations there are several basic USB Audio Class
devices that require no special drivers in Windows 7/8.  Most are
48 KHz, 16 bit design variations on two OEM designs represented by:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829128010

K9YC will point you to a couple of MIDI boxes from TASCAM and Numark
and there are also products from Behringer and PreSonus.  However, in
the < $100 price point most are simple 48 KHz sample devices with
dynamic ranges in the mid 90 dB range just like the inexpensive sound
card products.
