I don’t use a Signalink or any external device beyond the PC to operate FT8 on my K3s.
Maybe it's a K3s option (I just can’t remember if it was included or not) but the K3s USB I have enables rig control and also presents the K3s internal sound card to my PC. Just configure WSJT-X to use those two USB devices …..no SIgnalink needed.
