Re: [Elecraft] Need of an external sound card with the KX2
I've seem some information about use of an "Easy Digi" device http://www.ebay.com/itm/EASY-DIGI-UV-5R-INTERFACE-for-IPhone-IPad-IPod-Touch-/321221531105 and plan to give it a try. There are a few YouTube videos. It's on order.

Re: [Elecraft] Need of an external sound card with the KX2
Howard, One downside to using an internal soundcard is that many have a higher noise level than external USB soundcards (the SignaLink is *not* among the quietest). The second is that the internal (default) soundcard will be the one that produces the sounds used by your OS, and you certainly don't want those being transmitted over the air - but you can always turn off system sounds. If your laptop contains a built-in microphone, make certain it is turned off as well when using the default soundcard or the room sounds and voices picked up by the microphone can be transmitted. Other than the considerations above, the internal soundcard should work fine. You do not need PTT, use VOX, it works fine - in fact, that is how the SignaLink develops its "PTT" output - it detects tones from the soundcard and activates PTT - VOX in the KX2/3 will accomplish the same thing. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/29/2016 5:01 PM, Howard Sherer wrote: I plan to do some light weight travel with my KX2 running JT65, JT9 etc in the future.

[Elecraft] Need of an external sound card with the KX2
I plan to do some light weight travel with my KX2 running JT65, JT9 etc in the future. Can I connect the audio in and out ports of the KX2 directly into my laptop or will I need an external device like a Signal Link. If not needed how will the software key the KX2?
