All I did was connect the line out on the K3 to the mic in on the computer (using a stereo cable) and the line in on the K3 to the headphone jack on the computer.
Yes, it works. The headphone out to the K3 is good enough for all ham uses. The mic input is NOT good enough -- as has been noted, mic inputs tend to be very noisy, so they don't allow decoding of weaker signals. The difference can easily be 10 dB (10x the power). THAT'S why anyone serious about digital modes needs a dedicated USB I/O box. See the link I posted yesterday for recommendations of specific products. Or go to k9yc.com/publish.htm
Only thing missing was a way to key the K3. This is easily solved by using the RS-232 port on the K3;
It's also easily solved by using VOX, which doesn't tie up a serial port. Just pay attention to Don Wilhelm's advice.
