Randy,

There is a BIG difference between the I/Q outputs on the KX3 and the 8 
MHz IF output on the K3.

The KX3 I/Q outputs can drive a soundcard (like the iMic) directly, but 
the the K3 needs some sort of an SDR receiver tuned to the 8 MHz IF 
output which will output I/Q signals that you can feed to the 
soundcard.  LP-Pan is one such device, the Softrock receiver is 
another.  There are also dedicated SDR receivers that can tune to the K3 
IF output and are quite usable.

73,
