[TenTec] 'puter cables for Argo V

[John T. Fleming]

My Compaq laptop only has a "mike" input, but I find it works well with
decoding the DRM broadcasts which is from the digital IF of either my
Jupiter or Orion sub receiver.  I understand the only difference is a 20 dB
preamp in the "mike" position compared to the line input.

73,
John

Yup...both my Dell, and the Toshiba have only mic and headphones. But, I'll
