The right solution today is a Kenwood D710.   Considering time and
frustration - it'll be the best working system.

The 9600 is still a real problem with USB soundcard dongles.  There
are issues with transformers and DC blocking capacitors.   This is a
solution that shows real promise but there are still challenges.

FWIW - not the question at hand but related - the 4800 QPSK mode
(UZ7HO and others soon) is working out better but still requires
direct discriminator audio.  3600 QPSK is working solid with speaker
audio.
