Does FRS have a recommendation for a decent USB sound card that will work for direct audio connection between the F6000 radios and digital applications?

    SignaLink USB works great here. Supplied cables go right into mic and phones jacks, and you're on the way. 73 George/KF2T

    Steve, Please clarify what you mean by "direct connect". Any sound card is usable, you just need an analog interface between the radio's analog IO ports and the PC sound card, preferably isolated to prevent ground loops and RFI ingress. You can not connect a sound card to the USB port on the radio (of for that matter any device to the radio's USB port.

    I was referring to a physical connection rather than a software (VAC) connection. Something similar to the Signal Link George mentioned.

    Thanks for the clarification, Steve. You can cobble together an analog interface through the ACC port too.
