REQ: Any PCI-slot SW cards?

...Anyone know of any PC-based Shortwave Listening peripherals that are worth looking at and possibly purchasing? I looked at a couple about 10-12 years ago that were for ISA-slot PCs, but those didn't do a great job of isolating RF harmonics created by the CPUs approaching the 300MHz clock speeds, which seemed to be a major problem according to the few reviews I read in "PC Rag" and "Computer Shopper"(*). I've been getting this urge to get back into SWL since losing a leg and being quite a bit more apartment-bound these days, and figured I'd see about recycling an old PC into a decent SW rig if there's a good card to buy. Hey, it's either that, or get a Cobra CB rig that's been modded for export sales and rig the mike up to a Sound Blaster...:-) (*) Back in the days when it was worth reading, and a single issue could line a birdcage for six months with a twice-a-day change! OM The Ten-Tec RX-320 has lots of fans. |
