It turns out you need a high end sound card for SDR.

That other company found out one they were suggesting be used had one second 
TR time!  No fast breakin possible!  For most public sound card uses, the 
issues of turn around time are not an issue.  But, for radio use, they can 
be killers.

The same could be true for the external computer.  Windows after all, is not 
a real time operating system.  Ie, it is not good for interrupt driven 
program needs such as Analog to Digital data conversion, in our some 35 
years of working with such data.
