[Elecraft] [KX3] ADC/DAC access, keyer input

[John Ragle]

WRT 192 kHz sound cards in general (I don't understand why one would 
want USB???) there are several US manufacturers. The Infrasonic Quartet 
4 channel 24-bit 192 kHz PCI card is my favorite, and the claims by 
several vendors (NewEgg, etc) that this is not available are false: the 
manufacturer is viable and in active business.This card works very well 
with the several SDR products that I have at hand.
