=C2=A0I wonder if anyone has tried 192kHz sample rate for direct reception = of 73kHz?

Seems that there i= s 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 a= n external USB sound card - will any old sound card do ? Or do I need one w= ith a calibrated sampling rate? I suspect that I will need something really= good for Spectrum Laboratory if I want to sample at microHertz rates.
