Hi Warren,

I have 4 of these external cards in use & find them excellent.

Creative model SB0490, I got them at quite a low price on E-Bay.

Seems that there is a problem with the internal sound card, but everything else checks out FB.

I plan on using it with WSPR and other digital modes, am thinking of an external USB sound card - will any old sound card do ? Or do I need one with a calibrated sampling rate? I suspect that I will need something really good for Spectrum Laboratory if I want to sample at microHertz rates.

73 & Tnx Warren K2ORS
