Works fine. I upgraded my K3 to the new USB interface. The only
change I had to make was to select the new "sound card" built
into the interface in my digital radio programs. The reduction
in cables behind the radio was very welcome.
Basically, the new interface has a hub with a USB <--> RS232 and
a USB sound card connected to it. Just select the individual
components in the same maner as when they were separate USB
connections to the computer. You only need one USB cable between
the K3/K3S and the computer.

Now, a fellow Elecrafter with a K3S wants to do digital and has
asked me what he needs. I know that rig has built in sound
card, so I thought he wouldn't need the external unit like I
have. But, not having a K3S, I'm confused how things work. The
online manual (Data Mode Connections, pg. 33) says that "You
can transmit and receive data in one of three ways". None of
those three ways listed refer to that built in sound card.
I guess the bottom line question is: can one run a program like
FLDIGI and/or WSJT-X on a K3S without the need for an external
sound card, and still have those programs do full rig control
like the K3 that I have? If yes, what connections are made
between the radio and the computer...?
