Dave, Your points are well taken. An interface might be the best choice, but it is possible to not do so. As I said earlier I use a Signalink, but your favorite is OK. My general recommendation would use an interface though it's not mandatory with the KX3.

The PC speaker output can over drive the audio if you put it straight to the microphone of the rig and I would always advise using isolating transformers. You can spot people who have gone the 'straight through to mic input' route when they overdrive their audio and produce very wide signals. A better option is to use Line in/Line out on the PC and interface to an accessory socket that takes constant line levels. not lookied at the KX3 data inputs yet but if they are provided use them... Personally, I have used a US Interface Navigator. It provides excellent interfacing on both audio and computer connections. HRD is a bit expensive if you want the latest version, I well remember when it was free and there were a group of peopkle testing it and sugesting improvements and identifying bugs...

That can work also. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
