By "my audio stuff" i mean a mic. I'm using a Shure SM58, into a mic preamp, into a gate/compressor/limiter/de-esser into an EQ into a mixer into the K3's line-in. So line-in is taken. I can't put a Y cable there because, correct me if i'm wrong, every time Signalink would key up - the mic would go live. So that's not an option for me. I think its a lot easier to just hit a couple of buttons and switch to the front panel mic for digital work, isn't it? And the rear mic won't go live either.
As far as audio interface goes, yes, i have an E-mu 0404 USB that i can use. But signalink works just fine. No drivers to install. And it has just enough controls. I really don't see why i would need a studio quality sound card for PSK31. __________________ Slava (Sal) B, W2RMS [email protected] On May 9, 2014, at 10:02 AM, Jim Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > On 5/9/2014 5:36 AM, Slava Baytalskiy wrote: >> I have the Signalink box that i'm using with my Yaesu 857D but i want to >> also try it with the K3. > > What is "my audio stuff" that you are currently using?
