Hi Bill, For all practical purposes the choice will make no difference to the audio quality. Either option will certainly be vastly better than picking up the K3 audio with a microphone. The USB option is just a bit more convenient since you can can combine audio and rig control in one cable.

I'm trying to mix my K3s sidetone audio with Skypes audio out by using a software mixer called VoiceMeeter. This will eliminate the mic on my Skype camera trying to pickup the audio coming from the K3's speaker and hopefully eliminate most of the audio artifacts. Does it matter where I pick off

I have used the P-touch labels but stick them on a pre-cut magnetic strip this way you can have add or remove them from the K-pod. The labels are held in place by the magnet. This way you can have a set for contesting, QSO and DXpeditions.

Lloyd, Do you have the 2 diodes to permit using a hand key in addition to paddles (auto-detect)? If so, try removing the diodes to see if it works - Turn off auto-detect. Do you have a microphone connected? If so, remove it on the possibility that there may be a mic problem with the PTT

The only time I can make signals pop out is when I put in enough ATT to make noises floor S0.  Then it is like a FM channel when signal come in.  BUT the incoming signal needs to be several S units above the quiet noise floor to truly open the gate so to speak.  Weak signals near the noise

Though that would probably work, I think it's very confusing and counter-intuitive to program an Elecraft amplifier to use an Icom protocol to communicate with a Yaesu transceiver by relying on a microHAM microKEYER to translate the Yaesu CAT commands to equivalent ICOM CI-V commands. Note that

The S-Box is completely unnecessary ... Configure the KPA-1500 to work with an *ICOM* transceiver (CI-V data) and configure MK II to output CI-V data on the *AUX CI-V* jack (rear panel). The concept is identical to use of an Icom PW1 amplifier with MK II as described in the application note
