Hi, I used to use a Rigblaster on my old Icom, I got the K3, and after asking was told no need... I reluctantly connected everything, and it works just fine with out an interface... No hum, everything works very well... I have no wires coming out the front of the rig, nor to I have to rewire for mode changes... I am totally happy with teh lack of an interface...
