I like the Signalink... it's always been rock solid for me. I managed a 6 khz
RTTY pile-up in split mode for several hours handing out QSOs during a contest
once and it didn't let me down.

I have heard that they have an issue with the noise floor which could affect
sensitivity, and there could be some issues with Windows if the volume isn't
set properly -- apparently the Windows volume control needs to be set to 100%
to maintain linearity.

It's a good solution for guys who want to do a variety of digital work.
