Good point ..I was only thinking about CAT/multiple antenna control. I use a MK2R+ with a remote (at the Tower Base) Ameritron Switch and HRD/N1MM/Wintest/who knows what else next week for digi. I am going to swap that out for a Double Six switch and a Station Master.

If he has a rigblaster pro, I can only assume he's looking for rig control and handling the digital modes. The Microham Microkeyer II is the way to go. The ultimate setup, which I have, is the Microkeyer II which handles the rig control and digital interface along with the Station Master which handles my antenna switching (and future band pass filter switching) All I do is change bands/modes on my K3 and the KAT500/KPA500 and antenna switch follows along. If your not interested in true FSK and want to use AFSK then there is no need for an interface. Just plug your computer sound card directly into the K3 and connect a serial cable (usb or rs-232) between the computer and K3. However, I would think you would lose the computer sound card for normal use unless you have 2 sound cards.
