There can be only two possible answers:
1. The QRK is extremely competitive.
2. They haven't heard of Quads!

Here is what I know (not that I know much) about Voice Blaster and the
interface...
It is available from LTA industries email address is lta@contesting.com
It was designed to work with Sound Blaster Cards. All other cards are
compatible cards.. Good Luck :-)
The humming in the interface is usually caused by ground problems. These
are found in a lot of cards... W9XT, DVP, Sound cards... I have found
that playing with caps, toroids, isolation transformers etc helps. I
would love to see a better interface for DVP, Sound Card interfaces..
Please this is not an add for any of the above products. I have used all
but the W9XT card, I know of a person using one. They all have thier
merits and pitfalls. They all are made by reputable peaple and are
supported very well!!
I did not find a home page for LTA Industries, but the do have a
reflector for sharing info. Links to all major software can be found @
KY1H's homepage, KA9FOX's Homepage, VE7TCP's Homepage and many other
sources!!
I hope that his will help others. After 10+ replies here you go.

There are no ethics involved here.
How would you have this contest if no one called qrz or cq? Turn on
your rig and listen to the deafening silence? Even just dropping your call
would be equivalent of qrz. There was no "sitting on a fequency and
caling cq", since that was permitted for only one q, and I didn't hear
anyone violating that. And, again, someone has to call cq or qrz or there
is no 'test.

I use the W9XT, as do several locals. Gary gives a stern warning in the
documentation to keep audio and PTT/control grounds separate when wiring
mike cables. We haven't had any problems, either with hum or RF pickup,
even in stations where other DVKs have had serious RF trouble.
