The internal PCI one SBLive! works fine too. You can get one on ebay every now and then, used to be £10 ... the more modern ones seem to be fine (X-Fi ones) but I have never used one.<br /><br />Internal laptop 16 bit sound cards or those really cheap USB thumb drive sized sound cards are very poor.<br /><br />Dom<br />M1KTAM1KTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05944098903387301523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-513094667326816455.post-79089687915362895282012-06-28T18:46:14.354+01:002012-06-28T18:46:14.354+01:00Hi, what USB soundcard do you use and which USB so...Hi, what USB soundcard do you use and which USB soundcard would you recommend for SDR applications?

Lots of options to chose from and very good value. Chris, the owner, is very good at replying to my stupid emails about the kit. I bought mine second hand, so he has less of a reason to reply and help me, but does so anyway.<br /><br />Customer service is something that is lacking today, but CCW excel at it.<br /><br />I have the 40/30m version, and I'm very happy with it - combining it with an Si570 CMOS VFO and you have a wideband receiver or IF adaptor.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280256994767717043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-513094667326816455.post-22397151651085296332010-05-06T21:05:40.534+01:002010-05-06T21:05:40.534+01:00I had a lot of fun recently building the ZetaSDR f...I had a lot of fun recently building the ZetaSDR for 40m ... you can find this googling for "ZetaSDR" or "TinySDR" ... no coils, three chips, powered by USB 5 volts. I am very much a newbie, but I can pull in CW very clear with it, and some digital modes, but I've only heard very little English, but a lot of Spanish the last few nights (in Ohio, USA). Just using a wire stretched out across the house. I've had the most success with using DSPRadio on a Mac, but I've also used Quisk on my Ubuntu netbook. Lots of fun!!!tmwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118398894759578877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-513094667326816455.post-71932669207678542832010-05-05T15:36:34.685+01:002010-05-05T15:36:34.685+01:00List found on http://www.n9vv.com
