The Signalink USB works well with my K3 as well
using PSK31.

Our little border collie used to go nuts! if a brown truck came
into the neighborhood. Sadly she passed in 2009 but now we have a
not-little German Shepherd-mix that goes nuts if any vehicle
drives down her road :-D

Definitely use some type of external sound card. In this day and age and all
the admonishments to not do so, I *still* hear Windows sounds over the air when
using the “default” sound card.
If you spend just a few dollars more (you’ve already bought the K3, don’t

Thanks to all for the great info, and esp. Walter and others who suggested
the reading material from Jim, K9WC, I'll make that a priority to digest.
I hadn't thought about the PC sounds, so given the way I operate, I'll
probably opt for the external sound card. I love my PC sounds, and have

A good quality external soundcard will do much better than the SignaLink
(the Signalink noise floor is poor and is only a single audio channel).
The K3 has galvanic isolation (transformers) built into the Line In and
Line Out lines.

Hi Chris,
I've been going direct for digital modes for years with my K3 and never had
a problem even at legal limit. If you like your PC sounds and don't want to
turn them off when you operate digital you only need a small under $10 USB
audio adapter. I'm using this one:
My computer's (MacBook Pro) sound system doesn't support
bi-directional sound. I have used a SignaLink for several years
now and been happy with it. I do intend to get a higher quality
interface to see if I can decode weaker signals.
I operated using the K3's VOX for several years. My normal
Hi Bill,
Thanks for the info. Are you using your Macbook Pro native for digital
modes? If so, what software are you using?

Jim updated this in July to recommend two current, high-quality USB audio
interfaces. At $49 and $99, either is cheaper than the Signalink.

Memory loss here. Remind me what the second audio channel is used for.

David,
For data mode operation, most applications use only the left channel,
but there are a few that can swap channels. I would stick with a stereo
device for the most flexibility.
And, if you want to use the soundcard for some other purpose (such as
for SDR purposes - like the KX3 I/Q RX
Ah. The light bulb just clicked on. Thanks for posting the links, Walter.
Great write-up, Jim. Just finished reading it.
I don't need anything related to rig control if I choose vox operation, and
guess what? I'm an amateur musician and I have at least 2 audio interfaces
in the house. Of
I’ll go beyond this. CocoaModem allows for decoding two streams simultaneously.
I feed the main receiver to the left channel, and the K3’s sub receiver to the
right. Of course only one channel can be used for transmit since Wayne hasn’t
developer a sub transmitter yet. ;-)

Me too. I had a Signalink. With the K3 I found no difference between it and
the built-in sound of my Lenovo T400 laptop, which is my current system.
At K9YC's suggestion I acquired a Tascam US-100. While it worked fine, there
was no noticeable difference in performance on my modes of
Playing Windows sounds :-)

I just opened the box. Can't wait to dive in. I decided to buy the kit so
I'd know how it goes together and be more comfortable with upgrades later
down the road. Already saving for the P3 and then the KPA500!
I've been reading the list for the past week or so, and learned much about

The Signalink is noisy and the VOX is not needed because you can use the KX3
VOX.
I highly recommend reading K9YC’s short paper on audio interfacing. He knows
more about this stuff than I ever will.

Hi,
I used to use a Rigblaster on my old Icom, I got the K3, and after
asking was told no need... I reluctantly connected everything, and it
works just fine with out an interface... No hum, everything works very
well... I have no wires coming out the front of the rig, nor to I have
to rewire
