Most modern ham rigs have built-in sound cards for easy access to digital modes. However, there are a few on the market that don’t have them, and more than a few older rigs on the after market that don’t. If you want to work digital modes, you’ll need an external sound card, and the best (IMHO) is the SignaLink by TigerTronics.
This video introduces what you need to know to pick your SignaLink, and what you need to do before you can make it work with your system.
