I’ve read enough to want to get a KX3 so downloaded its user manual. Moving through it I ran across a sentence saying there was a need for a cable to hook to a PC…oops, that sounded like the Elecraft system was only compatible with Bill Gate's stuff and not Steve Job’s - darn.
Computer connections are required only for K1JT's wonderful digital modes that allow "rip and run" QSOs through strong noise,and/or with low power and/or compromised antennas. For CW, all you need is an antenna and a key/paddle. For SSB, all you need is a mic. The speaker doesn't get very loud (to conserve battery life), but plenty good enough for quiet places if you're not hearing impaired. Very limited RTTY and PSK31 operation can be done with a paddle.
