[Elecraft] K# and data modes

quote author="Mike-39">
Has anyone used a Buxcomm Rascal interface with the K3? If so, what 
cable does it use?

What other interface is used for RTTY and PSK31? I want to do direct 
keying, not audio, and I want to copy with the 'puter.

Does the K3 come with the mating plug for the acc jack?


There is no need to use a special interface with the K3. The audio in/out
already has isolating transformers, so just the RS-232 cable that you need
for updating firmware plus a couple of 3.5mm stereo double ended screened
cables from your compouter shop are all you need.

Not quite sure what you mean by direct keying, especially in the context of
PSK31. The K3 can do direct FSK RTTY, though I've never used it and don't
see what the advantages are, especially if you'll be using sound card
software to do the decoding. I have a hunch the K3 does FSK by generating
audio within the DSP anyway.
