Paul,
You are correct the K3s does have a built in sound card and it can
obviate the need for a SignaLink interface. However, you can just use
the radio's VOX vice computer controlled PTT. It works fine this way.
This is what I do.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 SignaLink & FT8 Question
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.

The Signalink provides only the audio path to / from the computer and radio.
You will need either the RS232 or USB interface between the radio and computer
to handle the frequency control and PTT command.

Dear OMs and YLs,
I am going to help a friend get onto FT8. He has a new Tigertronics
SignaLink, with the header for the K3 and appropriate cables for the K3.
This however does not in and of itself provide the ability to shift band or
frequency in the case of Fox Hound mode.
Is it correct to say that a cable from the K3 RS232 port possibly via
the P3 to the PC is all that is required to gain this frequency shifting
capability. The software being used other than what comes with the
SignaLink is standard WSJTX Version 2.? from K1JT's stable.
I use FT8 some here but have a MicroKeyer II. This is my first time
using a SignaLink. Your guidance is appreciated. Thank you in
advance.
