John,

I have been blessed by a total lack of noise when using my desktop  
computer connected the SRF-59 to do GY TOH recordings. I used the same  
RadioShack audio patch cable that connected the computer to my Drake  
R8, but had to locate the UL radio about 4 feet from the computer's  
LCD screen to eliminate the screen-induced noise. I would guess that a  
laptop would have the same issue, so distance from the screen may be  
the thing that brings success. This was using the radio inside a  
RadioShack passive tuned loop, BTW,

Brett
