It emulating a DSP . I'm aware most tablets dont have audio I/O. but at a push. a usb sound card could be used, but considering they have a mic and speakers, its awful tempting to get a low cost one and open it. I wouldn't be surprised if someone on this list hasn't already done it, to see whats flashable. I should thing its it capable of number crunching for HD TV it should cope with WSJT easily.. So the question now Len , is who will admit to opening up one of the cheap Chinese tablets and having a good rummage around inside ???
