[Elecraft] K3: Driving Data Modes Using Dell Dimension 8400

[Wes Stewart]

I read the following when reviewing the specs on your computer:

five connectors for line-in, line-out, microphone, surround, and center/Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel; one front-panel connector for headphones

I don't know what more you would need but maybe it's time for a Signalink USB.
