Kevin,

You are correct - there is only I/Q output - no input.

There in no line in/out on the KX3 - use the headphone \jack for audio 
out and the microphone jack for audio in.  The only downside I see is 
that you have to plug and unplug the cables when changing from voice 
modes to data.

The KX3 was designed to be a trail friendly compact mobile transceiver.
