[RTTY] Sound Cards

[rick darwicki]

Gents and ladies if you are out there,

I just ordered a little SoftRock SDR card and have been reading about the performance with onboard vs PCI 24-bit cards. The standard 16-bit 48 khz motherboard sound is really a poor performer compared to a 24-bit PCI card.

I'm wondering if there is any advantage or performance improvement to be had with MMTTY and other RTTY programs by using a 24-bit PCI card ? Tests done? Charts etc?

Naturally the SDR needs stereo and the RTTY programs do not. Maybe there is a program (or programmer wanting to write one) out there that uses filtered audio to the R/L of a stereo card for mark/space.
