Eric,

I just finished recording all new wave files for ARRL DX SSB test next weekend.

The Sound Blaster 16 PCI works like a champ. I had plenty of mike volume to
record the files just where I wanted the ALC meter to read, matching my
live mike levels.

I have used the card now in the cq wpx rtty and arrl dx cw tests and it is
so much better then my old PCI128.

Keep your ISA slot free. Get the SB 16 PCI. It works
