[RTTY] External Sound Card - Was: NCJ RTTY Article by AA5AU

[KC4HW/Jim]

Just thought I would report back to the group.  

I got a few suggestions as to what Don/AA5AU, Mark/N2QT and 
Joe/W4TV are using for their external sound device.  

I purchased the Encore 7.1 Channel USB Audio Box through Newegg 
and it arrived today.  Very small piece and would fit into most anybody 
installation/station.  

I plugged it in to the USB port and using Window 7/32 Home, it found 
the new device right away.  I installed a second directory with 
MMTTY2 and after a few mouse clicks in MTTY and Writelog, it was 
decoding on the new Audio Box.  It really was pretty painless, atleast 
for now.  Will have to get and FSK/PTT line connection setup, but I 
should up with the SO2R by the next RTTY Contest.  

Thanks to Don/AA5AU to the great article in NCJ and thanks to those 
that participate with information about the external sound device.
