Re: ...KX3 I/Q bandwidth is limited to something like 48kHz...
It is actually 192 kHz wide per the Owner's Manual, Page 26:
Set the correct sampling rate...192kHz sampling will yield a display of about
+/- 96 kHz.
My Sony VAIO VPCF121GX laptop has a very quiet 192 kHz internal soundcard, and
Just had another look at the connector - I had not used enough force to push
the cable in.

I am selling my nearly fully loaded K2/10 (SN: 543). The radio is in very good

That's an interesting solution too and cheaper than the WiFi units.
Do you know what would be the range using a Lenovo notebook (the adaptor should
be OK for 100m according to the spec., but I don't know about the notebook)?

If you are using DTR and/or RTS for PTT or keying, that will happen as
the OS tests the serial ports.
If you do not need that keying, turn it off in the K3 menu.

I've been using TX TEST for this purpose. Your K3 is probably set up
to use DTR or RTS for keying. When the USB enumerator starts up, the
first thing it does is reset all the hubs and endpoints, and this

One other way to prevent the K3 from transmitting (it will still key
but with no RF output). Apply 5v to pin-7 of the ACC after
placing TX INH set to HI in the CONFIG menu. Remove the 5v and the
radio will function normally.

There is no sense even trying the SignaLink for that purpose. You need

If you do this, make sure that when you remove the 5v pin 7 is either grounded directly or
via a resistor. if you let it float, it may inhibit output in that condition.
Yes, I see that Ed didn't do that in his schematic -- maybe it's rig-dependent, but I've
had this problem.

A sound card for digital modes is mono and and bandwidth 10 Khz or so. For
I-Q data processing for spectrum display, stereo is required and much
greater bandwidth. Signal link USB is not usable for I-Q data. About
anything will work for digital modes.
