??? 299 bucks is a little stiff, to have the capability on
your laptop.

Ray,
We have just finished
qualifying a new soundcard for use with laptops
and the SDR-1000.? It
is called the PreSonus FireBox.? It is a firewire
(IEEE-1394)
soundcard with 6 inputs and 10 outputs.? It will take a
hefty
processor to run it (~1.5GHz+), but will give comparable
performance to the
Delta 44.

======================================================================
I
know the Delta-44 is the "preferred" sound card by many for SDR
use,
however I wonder which external card has shown the best
performance
for use with a laptop.
The SB Audigy 2 NX USB and the SB
Audigy 2 ZS Laptop (PCMCIA) cards
seem to have pretty good specs however
I've noticed a bit of list
message traffic concerning difficulties a few
users have had with
these cards when used with the Rocky
software.
Have these difficulties been resolved in the most recent
versions of
Rocky ? Any comments on the use of these cards (or others you
have had
good luck with) with Rocky and other SDR software would be
welcome.
Thanks & 73,
Ray WB6TPU
