Tryg, Mike,
the Ensemble uses an Si570 frequency synthesizer, driven by a microprocessor plus firmware. (I had to look it up to check, it's been a long time!) Under Linux the necessary software to control that arrangement is *usbsoftrock*, and one should set up *udev rules* to make it simple.
Back a decade or so ago a write-up came out of a project for a friend. Write-up's now in the files section. (

HTH, 73, Stay Safe,
Robin, G8DQX
PS: Sadly I have no current access to test Si570 hardware.

Maybe for a sound card, yes. But*not* for any Softrock.
Of course, SDR software is necessary, such as Linrad.
