Alan, You do not need any interface. The only thing you need is a soundcard. The K3 contains isolating transformers on the Line In and Kine Out rear jacks. Just connect 2 stereo cables between the soundcard and those jacks. You can operate with VOX instead of PTT. Set the Data sub-mode to

Your NiMH cells are at or almost fully charged.  Near the end of the charge cycle, the NiMH cells convert more and more of the charge current to heat, and less to chemical conversion (charging).  When the cells reach 40deg. C, the KXBC3 suspends charging until the cell temperatures drop below
