Bob, Your assertion that one does not have to use the normal computer soundcard is well received. BUT there is no need to use one of the "Digital Interfaces" just to get the soundcard function. There are plenty of external soundcards available at less cost than the digital interfaces, and for those with desktop computers, adding an internal soundcard (in addition to the normal Windows soundcard) is an easy thing to do. Most applications will let you select which soundcard should be used.
In other words (for those using a K3), an additional soundcard may be a better solution than one of the "Digital Interface" boxes. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/9/2011 6:59 PM, Bob Naumann wrote: > The TI-5 has a USB sound card in it.
