[RTTY] Soundcard Interface shootout?

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

I would imagine for something  like  RTTY  any sound   card  card  would be 
 fine
if  you were listening to  fine symphonic  sound  then  perhaps you can get 
picky.....
 
I can use my android phone to  do rtty even....

Comparing sound card interfaces is sort of like taste testing the  
different varieties of apples. A great interface for one ham might be a  
piece of junk to another. I read all the reviews on eHam.net and the few  
product reviews that were published in QST. After spending hours  
comparing units and features, I finally just built a simple interface  
using transformers and optoisolators and used it with the built in sound  
card on my computer. The performance was not quite up to what I expected  
so I installed a cheap $10 sound card I had in the junk box and it  
worked better. I finally plugged it into a $40 USB sound card and have  
never looked back. It does all I need it to do decoding RTTY and will  
key my rig with FSK. I sometimes run some of the other digital modes  
with it as well.
