Started to not reply.....But good info on the cards!...I DX FM and AM bands
a bit with an old AM and FM ISA CADET Radio card but I replaced the filters with the 110 khz Murata Filters Found on this page... http://www.dxfm.com/ Look for the Murata filters link....They are cheap! Makes a WORLD of difference! These work great in a lot of the better broadcast radio receivers! Most of the better receivers use 2 or 4 of the filters...the best are even switchable between wide and narrow! Just a bit of info... Ernie "OM" wrote in message ... ...Anyone know of any PC-based Shortwave Listening peripherals that are worth looking at and possibly purchasing? I looked at a couple about 10-12 years ago that were for ISA-slot PCs, but those didn't do a great job of isolating RF harmonics created by the CPUs approaching the 300MHz clock speeds, which seemed to be a major problem according to the few reviews I read in "PC Rag" and "Computer Shopper"(*). I've been getting this urge to get back into SWL since losing a leg and being quite a bit more apartment-bound these days, and figured I'd see about recycling an old PC into a decent SW rig if there's a good card to buy. Hey, it's either that, or get a Cobra CB rig that's been modded for export sales and rig the mike up to a Sound Blaster...:-) (*) Back in the days when it was worth reading, and a single issue could line a birdcage for six months with a twice-a-day change!
