Hi Eric,
The M-Audio Delta 44 is a great sound card. However it does lack a mixer
and mic preamp. That makes it difficult to configure Digital Voice Keying
and soundcard output levels. Your purpose, QSO recording might also be
difficult. I have one for about a year now and I've been able to do
everything I wanted with it. I finally went back to my Santa Cruz.

When I upgraded the shack computer from a P3 to a P4 (a 1.6 GHz IBM
NetVista), I didn't swap the (Soundblaster 16 PCI) sound card. Instead I am
using the one built-in to the new computer.
My station is a HEil Proset feeding an Orion. I use Writelog.
I made a "recording on the fly" through the during the contest last weekend,
and the results were sub-par, certainly when compared to the recording I
made directly into the radio.
My questions:
- Is this a software configuration (i.e., how Writelog records) issue?
- Will the old sound card back sound better than the built-in one (i.e., are
there greater and lesser than equal sound cards)? If so, is the Audio Delta
44 Audio Card ($159) that the SDR-1000 uses worth the investment?
