Re: new sound card from Timewave

This is the former US Interface Navigator which ceased product a
couple of years back. Timewave bought the design and rights from US
Interface and has continued selling it. It costs a bit of $$$, but is
worth it: integrated sound card, CAT, PTT, WinKey and true FSK all on
one USB cable; GREAT support for Linux (plug it in and it just works),
OS X (fully supported drivers), and Windows (fully supported drivers);
built like tank; cable diagrams are provided so you can build your own
to save $, or you can buy pre-made direct from Timewave.
This is a great product with a long history of excellent performance.

Costs "a bit of $$$"? Nearly $350 US!
As to "This is a great product with a long history of excellent performance."
And a lot of RFI/EMC issues, in regards to RF getting into the TX audio, and/or
back into the PC. Just like other similar gadgets suffer from. As some would
say, classic "Pin 1" trouble. (Amazing, when you consider the intended use and
environment to be used in...)
Oh... And you need to do heck of a lot more than just use lead-free construction
to get a CE mark. No decleration of confomity could be found in the on-line
copy of the manual, as is legaly required to be marketed and sold in Europe.
The link to www.USinterface.com on page 28 is bad. Its just a blank page.
Nuff said.

(I do have one of the Timewave Antenna Noise Canceling devices. It works very
well when needed!)
