[Elecraft] USB Soundcard

[Arie Kleingeld PA3A]

Tim,

About the line-in / mic in a simple laptop:

Before going through the process of buying a super usb external 
soundcard, check the windows configuration - sound of your laptop and 
look at recording devices.
You'll probably find the mic. Then check the properties of that 
connection. In the advanced settings you MAY find that the mic can be 
configured as stereo with 96k or 192k sampling.

My 2010 Samsung cheap N210 netbook can run stereo 96k and give a nice 
panafall with NAP3! It ties up the processor :-) but I can still log my 
QSO's at the same time.
My doughter's 6 year old medium priced Toshiba laptop does 192k, without 
any problem.

So don't let the word 'mic' or the little mic-picture on the side trick 
you. Check it first in the software settings.
My two cents worth.
