[Elecraft] K3-Signalink USB connection question

[Don Wilhelm]

Rick,

You are correct, there is no receive audio at the microphone connector, 
but you have several other choices.

You can use audio from the rear panel - use a stereo cable (even if the 
audio is monoral) with 3.5mm plugs on each end.  You have your choice of 
taking audio from the headphone jack at the rear or the speaker jack on 
the rear panel, or the LINE OUT jack.  Of course, you could use the 1/4 
inch headphone jack on the front panel too - lots of possibilities.

The easiest with the K3 is to forget the SignaLink and connect the K3 
LINE IN and LINE OUT jacks directly to the soundcard LINE OUT and LINE 
IN jacks.  No external interface is required for data modes with the K3, 
the isolated interface is built in.  Either use VOX or use PTT from the 
RS-232 port, or if you are using an application that supports keying 
with the KY commands (like HRD/DM780) use that method in preference to 
the other choices.

73,

However, there is no receive audio at the front panel mic connector, right?  Thus, no waterfall.   If so, how do you get receive audio from the radio to the SignaLink?  Thanks for any help.
