[Elecraft] K3 Digital audio out ?

[Simon (HB9DRV)]

For noisy speech it's not at all bad. For data modes - write your own seems 
to be the best option, this is what I plan to do for DM780 sometime. Sending 
data around at 8kHz with (estimated) 25% overhead is not a big problem, it's 
a trivial programming task, just takes some time to design and the implement 
it properly.
