Julian,
Your timing was great! I took a look at KComm and it was just what I needed
for a portable operation I plan to make shortly with the KX3. The 16
message capability that I can initiate with one mouse click (if needed) was
the clincher. This should then give me more time to type (hunt and
Excuse my jumping in, but I'd like to add that KComm can also be used if you
want single cable operation of the KX3. It supports keyboard CW, PSK31 and
RTTY just like the KX3 utility, but has more of the features of a logging
and digimode program.

Your software looks promising for my portable / laptop solution for the KX3

Hello,
I was going to buy a Signalink USB for my KX3, but after reading about the
noise problems I am not so sure. I wish Elecraft would build a USB interface…
It would undoubtedly be a hot seller and I am sure perform flawlessly… Anyone
in support…?

Gil,
What kind of noise problem are you referring to? I use a SL USB with my K3 with
no issue.

Gil,
I have used a SLUSB for years. I have used it on everything from PSK31
to Olivia to JT65 (HF). It works. Could it be better? Perhaps. I am
familiar with the pages you link below. In my opinion, the juice is
not worth the squeeze.
All that said, this is amateur radio. One of the
Gil,
Interesting articles on the SL interface. All I know is, I use one all the time
mainly on MARS MT-63 and Olivia with no issues. I also use a US Navigator which
I think is the gold standard for digital interfaces

Check the date on the article. He says they made mods to the later models.

If you want your panadapter to sample and display a properly I would think
most folks would ASSUME some signal fidelity was in order.
Most don't care about freq response.i guess they dont expect much when
they use hrd or dm780 or nap3 etc.
My single disappointment in the KX3 is that it has a forest of cables instead
of a single USB port. I understand that the available USB chips create a lot of
RF noise, but dang, we've had USB for fifteen years, and it just chafes me that
we're fussing with the best A/D converter for a signal
I believe the question was about using an interface box (with integral
soundcard) for digital modes. That application does not need a great
soundcard or a wide frequency response.
Those wanting a panadapter display using the I and Q outputs from the
KX3, then a good quality soundcard is a

Whoa! *Any* signal you receive with an antenna is *analog*. You may
convert it to digital for detection but it is an analog signal. In
addition, any voice (phone) signal started out
Plus, I understand that the SL USB sound card is not stereo, and you
need that to use the I/Q interface from the KX3

Bill,
As an example of the difficulty of using a digital to digital path, I
recently tried to load the drivers for the USB 'dongle' that was
featured in a recent QST article - Cheap and Easy SDR. I found it not
so easy, and so far have been ultimately unsuccessful.

I've thought about this kind of device for a while. Here is what

* One device should emulate a USB sound card. This emulation
will allow standard drivers to be used. (They are included
HI Walter:
There's a thread going on over at the KX3 Yahoo group regarding using
the USB connection for the KX3 utility. At least -some- single-cable
operation is possible with the KX3. You can use the KX3 utility as a
terminal for RTTY (and presumably PSK31) operation. There is a text
