Thanks for all the information and help Thank-you Don W3FPR, Nick N3WG and Dick N0CE. I used your advice and ordered a Griffin iMac. I also ordered the iPad camera kit ic5331zm. I got a bonus going this way as I can use the pan-adaptor while I am camping on my iPad as well as at home on my

I am trying to get Rocky 3.7 to work with my KX3 similar to the display of the P3 and my K3. I have Rocky 3.7 running on my laptop computer and Windows 8. Rx I/Q is turned on in the menu of the KX3 and the cable supplied by Elecraft is running to my Creative model SB1100 USB sound adapter. My

Ken, Are you getting a signal to the soundcard from both the I and Q channels? What you are seeing is normal of only one channel is fed to the soundcard. In other words, check your cables. Plug in the left channel only into the soundcard and see if you have a signal present, then do the

Hi Don You answered and confirmed my suspicion. I suspect since I have a new Elecraft cable and the sound card only has the MIKE input that it is MONO. Do you know of a USB sound card that you will work? I would rather by something good that I know will work than spend money on something cheap

Ken, Getting the double signals very often is caused by not getting both I and Q through the sound card into the computer. Here is a handy sound card oscilloscope program that can be used to see if you are getting stereo input to a sound card. Get a male to male 1/8 cable. Plug one end into

Ken, Since the KX3 I/Q bandwidth is limited to something like 48kHz, you do not need an exotic soundcard which will give you a 192 kHz span, most external soundcards will do the job just fine. The Creative X-Fi soundcard is available at a modest price, and will do a 192 kHz span should you

Thanks Don for your help. I still need someone to give me a model number for a USB Sound Card that will work as I only want to do this once. I have been on the internet but none of the sound cards tell me if the mic input is stereo. The Creative X-Fi was too generic for me to tell which model

I think he means this one: http://us.store.creative.com/Creative-Sound-Blaster-XFi-Surround-5.1/M/B0044DEDCA.htm As Don mentioned, you can add in some decoupling capacitors to make it a bit quieter (after all, it is powered by the noisy USB). 73, Matt VK2RQ On Tue, Jun 25, 2013 at 12:49 PM,

Ken, Take a look at http://us.store.creative.com/Creative-Sound-Blaster-XFi-Surround-5.1/M/B0044DEDCA.htm. This is only one vendor and I am not endorsing it, just giving you a picture of the soundcard I am recommending. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/24/2013 10:49 PM, Kenneth A Christiansen wrote:
