Well Geoff, one way is to use a Softrock-IF (a kit, available from KB9YIG
for less than 30 bucks); another way is to use an LP-Pan (available from
http://www.telepostinc.com/LP-PAN.html).  The LP-Pan costs way more but has
better dynamic range and other fancy features; nonetheless the little
Softrock is a dynamite piece of engineering and does a great job.

In either case you will get much better results by adding an outboard sound
card instead of your computer's on-board card. I use an EMU0202, no longer
made, but others are good too. You take IF out of the back of the K3 and
feed the Softrock or LP-Pan, and get I-Q out.
