In fact, when using a laptop with PowerSDR I do use VAC for an audio connection from PowerSDR to the PC and the latency isn't too bad that way on my particular laptop. Of course, the great thing about HPSDR is that you may configure things any way that suits your needs! If one method doesn't do it to your satisfaction there are usually alternative methods to try. <div><br></div><div>73, Joe K5SO</div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 10, 2011, at 8:10 AM, Joe Martin K5SO wrote:</div><blockquote type="cite"><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><br></font>2) The audio from Mercury is normally taken from the audio jack on the Mercury board in both KISS and PowerSDR. While you may use an actual cable from the Mercury audio jack back to an audio card on the PC (ugh!) or a virtual audio cable from PowerSDR to the PC audio system (also, ugh!) you will have more latency (extra time delay) doing it that way and therefore it is not recommended; the additional latency in those configurations makes CW operation very difficult to say the least.<br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
