I use a PK232DSP for RTTY.  If I had to just watch the lights on it, I'd 
probably have a far less chance of working anyone than by listening as I 
tune.

The soundcard modes can show all the digi stations in the audio passband 
but I still prefer listening as I tune ... guess it's the way I learned.
