[Elecraft] what connection to computer soundcard & Ham Radio Deluxe works well with K3?

[Ian Kahn - Ham]

I use the latest version of HRD with my K3.  The cables are simple sound 
card/speaker cables with 1/8" jacks.  When we were shutting down my 
office I actually snagged from the trash what is basically a large sound 
card pair, grouped into a single rubber sheathing.  One green connector 
and one pink connector on each end.  Works perfectly.
