[Elecraft] Need local help

[Barry LaZar]

Joe,
     You bring an interesting point of view. I've been using a SignaLink 
USB for at least 3-4 years. I haven't had an issue with it except not 
enough time to play. And, I can't blame the manufacturer for that.

     I think there is one point that is overlooked in a lot of these 
discussions. It really doesn't take much of a sound card to do digital 
signal processing on 3 KHz or less audio streram. However, I would never 
use a card in my laptop or my I/F for some of the heavier lifting here 
in my shack where I need 96KHz sample rates or better with 24 bit 
digitizing. But for just hook it up, set the levels and go, an interface 
with a built in sound card is not a bad way to go. In many cases, it is 
just easier to do and it allows for more flexibility.

73,
Barry
