A significant plus is that the vendor (Tigertronics?) offers cables for
a variety of popular rigs and rather good info on getting it set up,
working with computer USB ports. That can be a plus for the
technically-challenged who want to operate non-demanding digital modes
like PSK31, Joe.
Tim,
About the line-in / mic in a simple laptop:
Before going through the process of buying a super usb external
soundcard, check the windows configuration - sound of your laptop and
look at recording devices.
You'll probably find the mic. Then check the properties of that
connection. In the
I'm currently using a Creative Labs Sound Blaster SB1095 with my laptop
and the KX3. I bought the KX3-PCKT cable set when I bought the kit,
made it much easier not having to worry if the cables would work or not,
for $19.95 it was a no brainer.
The SB1095 works well with WSJT-X for JT modes,

Hi Barry,
Yes, built-in sound cards "work," but my extensive testing showed that a
good outboard USB sound card works FAR better than the sound built into
my Thinkpad laptops. The difference is the ability to decode much weaker
signals. That testing is documented in the link I posted

That rules out the SignaLink which has only a mono input.
The Asus U5 or U7 will do the job for you quite nicely, and costs less
than the SignaLink.

There are some pretty convincing measurements that show that the SignaLink USB
is not as good as it should be.
For this application, the SignaLink is useless, because for I/Q output from the
KX3, he’ll need stereo in. The SignaLink is mono.

The SignaLink USB is one I find to be a good choice. It uses the USB
