Yes, certainly a possibility. But have you looked at latency? This may
or may not be a problem.
Another question though. What's your ham call? How much operating do you
do? What sort of operating do you do? DXing? Contesting? Casual
rag-chewing? CW, SSB, RTTY, etc? What bands?

## 100 msecs or more is ok....even with vox. Problem starts when you are
trying to
monitor urself with headphones on. A few msecs is fine... but when it gets up
to 7-8-9-10 msecs,
the audio will sound screwed up in the headphones..... since u will hear
urself twice, once through
bone conduction in real time..then again... but delayed, through the
headphones. Phasing problem.
## on some digital gear, the delay is fixed..and short, like 3 msecs.
On some of my other digital gear, like the 6 band compressor and digital eq,
the delay is programmable from 1 msec to 3000 msecs. But that is used for
stuff like
outdoor sound re- enforcement, where a 2nd bank of speakers is located
towards the back of the venue.
Takes 1 sec for sound to travel 1100’. The fronts are fired 1st.....then the
rears are delayed. If sitting
at the back of the venue, the two sounds should arrive at the same time. But
this is one off stuff.
My JPS digital noise redux box has a 135 msec delay in it. Its bypassed
on TX for that reason.
I see a similar 130 msec delay when using my cell phone to phone myself on the
hone phone.
## Some of the internet HF receivers I have used have a 15 sec delay. Fine
for testing +monitoring yourself,
after the fact.
## If the free VE3 software works..... go for it. It has every feature you
could need.
