Frode, The KX3 does not contain isolation transformers - there is not adequate room inside. Yes, you may connect to the mic and phone jacks directly, and that can sometimes be done if the computer and the KX3 are properly bonded together (see K9YC's papers). If the bonding does not cure hum and noise pickup, you will probably have to add isolation transformers outside the KX3 (or use an interface box).
