[Elecraft] Suggestions for good 192kHz external sound card for digital modes

[Don Wilhelm]

David,

There is nothing wrong with USB powered soundcards *if* the USB power is 
well filtered.
Some soundcards do that better than others.
One place to look for soundcards that have been tested by the 
manufacturer of LP-Pan is at his website www.telepostinc.com.
Yes, all of Larry's info is Windows based, but the soundcard hardware 
info should be valid no matter what the OS may be.
The LP-Pan yahoo group reflector is a good place to obtain additional 
information about soundcards and the LP-Pan as well as LP-Bridge.

73,
