Guy needs to chime in on this one.........I think the flex only does
that good on IP3 if used with the "approved" sound card ????

No big deal as I don't think that sound card is very expensive.


The SDR has IMHO two problems. One is that it requires a PC to work and the
other is that you have to operate it via a PC.

If you like the ergonomics of a PC controled radio and have a PC next to
the radio then it's fine. I sit too long in front of a PC, when I use
a radio, I want a box with knobs, dials, switches, etc.
