[Elecraft] K3 RS323 and Data Modes {was YAQ - YetAnother (K3)Question}

[Simon Brown (HB9DRV)]

No need for isolation / decoupling with the K3, it's built-in (not sure 
about the K2). Another advantage is simultaneous dual-band reception *and* 
the ability to receive at least 4 kHz bandwidth (this is why I have the FM 
filter on order).

I don't see any problem with using a soundcard as long as it is a decent 
one. I'm sure a digital I/O card could be developed as an option at a later 
date but compared to a card such as the Delta-44 I don't think you would see 
any difference.

Of course I'll not be able to confirm this until my K3 arrives (hint !).
