Definitely look for a machine with seperate mic/headphone sockets. Otherwise it works fine - I generally resort to using a USB sound card with it, although that has its own problems for very high resolution VLF spectrograms. The only software I have had trouble with is Winrad, which refuses to run, apparently due to incompatible display size. Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU
