[TenTec] Question on Sound Card interfacing

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

I have the Tentec USB Soundcard and the SignaLink USB sound card.  Both 
interface quite well with the Omni VII, the Eagle and the Argonaut VI as all 
have the 5 pin DIN connector.   The SignaLink was ordered with the cable for 
the Tentec radios.

As with any sound card, caution must be exercised to prevent RF from getting 
into the audio.  Pay attention to routing of cables with RF and those with 
DC power and those carrying audio.  Space wins when keeping RF cables away 
from audio cables and data cables.

As to the interface with the RCA plugs, use the dongle supplied via Tentec. 
It has the 5  pin DIN on one end and 4 x  female RCA connectors on the 
other.  Personally I would prefer to eliminate as many connectors and 
cabling  as possible for the reason stated above.
