[Elecraft] Re Improving Station while waiting for the K3

[Lyle Johnson]

> I don't know what I am going to do about digital modes yet.

1) Use a keyer paddle and the VFO B display.  This will give you CW, 
RTTY and soon PSK31.  PSK31 is presently receive only, but that will 
change soon :-)

2) The K3 includes an isolated soundcard interface.  All you need is a 
pair of 3.5mm shielded stereo cables between your PC soundcard in and 
out jacks, and the K3 LINE in and out jacks.  I have operated digital 
modes this way, using VOX for keying.

Or you can use the RS232 interface and key from DTR or RTS, if your 
chosen software prefers to do it that way.

3) I have also used a SignaLink USB interface with the K3, again using 
standard 3.5mm shielded stereo patch cables.

Enjoy!
