`Comments interweaved;



First. the microHAM microKEYER II is a high quality external sound card
with lower noise floor and higher dynamic range than standard OEM sound
cards in many computers and better performance than the commodity USB
sound cards used by many - including some of the 'made for ham radio'
USB sound products. 

`There was no question on your product quality.

 In addition, most microHAM interfaces provide USB
to serial rig control interfaces, many include a K1EL WinKey based
keyer, *true FSK* support rather than a jitter prone software hack
and several other station control options (including isolated Icom
CI-V transceive emulation which allows automatic band switching of the
Icom PW-1 from most non-Icom transceivers).

`That's nice.

There is no reason for you to be disagreeable about other users choices
in accessories.  While you may find something unnecessary, others may
have good reasons for using them.

`See "on an interface for use with a K3 when one is not needed" "needed"
being the keyword,
`hence when it is not needed then it is not necessary. There is no
"disagreeable" on my part.
`Some ops buy this stuff thinking it it is necessary when it is not, and do
not realise the effort Elecraft `have put into the K3 built-in isolated
audio interface.

`You outlined the specific area's where the Microham may be useful
splendidly.  

`You represent Microham Joe and good for you, but please do not see that as
a critique on the device `itself.
