After looking at the info at http://app-rpt.qrvc.com/ it looks like there are 2 ways to go for usb radio interfacing. What is the difference between the modified usb sound fob and the dmk engineering interface?

Basically MONEY. The USB sound fob is @ $7.50 and
the DMK is ** $99.95.
That is pretty much it

The DMK one has all the interfacing parts, and everything is nicely brought to a 25 pin d-shell connector for you. The hacked one requires you to do alot of difficult and sometimes mechanically flaky modification, soldering, etc.

modifying a sound fob is a flaky unreliable (and in alot of cases for people unattainable because of the size what you have to solder) mess. Wires
fall off because there is no good way of attaching them reliably. I developed the software for this thing using those, and I cant tell you how nice
they were to have (although annoying because of the numerous times a wire would break), but I am now OVERJOYED to have a real, physically
reliable device with real connections solderable by a real human being.
If a difference of $60 or so is in any way significant to you, then by all means modify the generic fobs. We went way out of our way to ensure
that the software/technology would work identically regardless of whether you bought a “real” one or modified a generic one.
