Hello,

Sound1-5 are RAR compressed JPEG pictures of my home brewed soundcard 
interface, which can be connected to virtually every transceiver ever made.

Computer and transceiver are insulated by optocouplers on the COM port's side 
and 600 Ohms transformers on the audio side. PTT and audio circuitry are 
mounted on veroboard style PC boards in the traditional "Ugly Tech" way.

For demo purposes, an external speaker or head phones can be plugged in and 
can monitor either the right or the left computer's line-out channel for 
EHSCW or MS programs for example.

DTR and RTS signals are separated too and can be switched for computer keyed 
CW using the transceiver's MOX and CW key plugs together allowing semi 
break-in on older transceivers.

This soundcard interface is not only intended for packet but is used for 
other digimodes such as RTTY and SSTV. It can also be used to link a 
transceiver and a computer for Echolink or phonepatch applications.

I picked up some ideas on F6CRP's homepage at:

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/f6crp/

I also had another souncard interface project, using both audio channels to 
connect to two separate transceivers... Tests are running to optimize it's 
performance for 9k6 soundcard packet; the problem is that the only program 
that seems to be able to run AX25 on two audio channels is AGWPE, which is 
far away from beeing the best choice for reliable packet data transfer.
More about this second soundcard interface project later...73 de F8BOE Olivier ...-.-
