No flak, just a comment.
I upgraded my K3 #00345 with available K3s bits. I use the USB interface
for all K3<>PC communications, CAT and audio for digital modes. I use
Logger32 with the internal hooks to MMTTY, MMVARI, 2-Tone and GRITTY.
Logger32 receives logging broadcasts directly from wsjt-x (FT8) without
the need for additional software and gives me full access to my logbook
stats. FT8 decodes at -22dB are common.
I use VOX only for CW, everything else is PTT driven, either PC or foot
switch (SSB). All my data mode audio levels are balanced for TX level
across the various applications, absolutely no fiddling with my K3 line
levels are required.
It can be done. I'm still using Win7.

I had a K3 in service (now a spare) for about 8 years before getting a
K3S. I didn't do WSJT but some RTTY and PSK using the Line In/Out into
my Lenovo laptop internal sound card. Worked like a champ, started with
zero and now have 255 countries on RTTY.
I tried to use the K3S USB sound and got tired of the incessant need to
fuss with drive and VOX levels. I requested many times for firmware
that would save VOX settings by mode to no avail. (When I had another
issue, Elecraft Support actually told me that they didn't recommend VOX
on digital modes.)
I've returned to using the analog audio in/out of the radio and the
laptop sound card, which is higher quality anyway. (I have a TASCAM
US-100, highly recommended by the resident audio guru, but haven't found
it to be any advantage.) This also makes it easier to resort to the
spare radio when necessary.
Wes N7WS standing by for the flack from the faithful.
