[Elecraft] KX3 Computer Interface for digital modes

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Signalink USB is nothing more than a repackaged $10 USB audio dongle.
It does not provide any USB to serial functions and no access to TxD,
RxD, DTR, RTS.  Lance specifically needed TxD and RxD for computer
logging and RTS for advanced PTT.

The alternative to the WestMountain Radio Nomic is a Buxcomm Rascal
with a custom serial cable that splits RxD/TxD to the rig and DTR/RTS
to the Rascal then to the rig.

73,
