I think the number of conversions is the same, it's just a matter of
whether the conversion is done in the computer or the radio. Since a
computer has a more powerful processor, I would expect it to do a
better job, if available. The value of the built-in encoder/decoder is
to allow operation using popular data modes *without* a computer.
