Sean, You don't even need a computer interface with the kx3. Buy the $19 cable set elecraft sells for this purpose and your ready to rock. I am using my new kx3 with nothing more than audio in/out to my laptop and the included USB cable for control via HRD. Works great. I managed a 5 watt FeldHELL contact from CO to IL on 20m with a simple dipole tossed out my office second story window.

Let me suggest that you add PSK31 to your beginnings. It is a mode that really works well at low powers and it's really easy to set up. You will need a way to interface your computer to the radio, but that is easy. A interface like the SignaLink USB will make it almost mindless; they have the cable you will need. The whole package is $100.
