Craig,
Since you have decided to include the external interface, AND you only
have one USB port, look at the serial port on your chosen interface -
you may need the KX3SER cable instead of the KX3USB cable. The
interfaces I know about all have serial ports to connect to the rig and
not USB ports.

Thanks for the feedback and advice, Don.
I have the Elecraft cables and figured that it would be worth buying
an external interface unit that has a built-in sound card capability
that I know will work, vs. take a chance with the MS Surface Pro
computer. (The unit is reasonably compact and light.)
The optical isolation circuits in the interface unit may be even more
important at the St. Lucia sites, especially considering the various
power sources that will be used. (I too am a believer re. having
isolation circuits.)
Also, the Surface only has 1 USB3 port on it and it would be good to
not have to use an external port expander unit to accommodate more
cables, etc.
So far--it sounds as if I can get there OK with this path.
