[Elecraft] RIGblaster Advantage for Serious Digital Modes with KX3?

[CRAIG W BEHRENS]

Thanks, everyone for the fine support!
I believe that you have helped a lot of people (besides just me) find paths for getting the digital modes up and running well.
I'm going to use the information and ideas you have provided to get my KX3/digital mode system optimized and ready for the St. Lucia trip in December.
Thanks again -- ya'll are awesome!

For a different approach, this maybe something to consider... http://www.4sqrp.com/4s-link.php
There was a note in the reflector about a modification need for the KX3. Quoted and copied below.
Either a special cable or reworking pcb traces would be necessary.
Good luck,

"Just
 discovered why I couldn't get the 4SLink to work with the KX3.  The 
Mic/PTT jack on the 4SLink is backwards from the way the KX3 works.  On 
the 4SLink, the microphone audio is on the "ring" and it needs to be on 
the "tip" of the connector going to the KX3. 
 
I
 was trying to use a standard audio extension cable between the 4SLink 
and the KX3 which put PTT on the Microphone Audio in and the audio on 
the PTT (ring) of the KX3.

I'm looking at different approaches for a compact interface unit to use with my KX3 and MicroSoft Surface Pro
 Tablet PC.
The KX3 has some neat built in features for light field use, but I need to be set-up for serious DXpedition use with the digital (and other) modes.
Anyone have any experience in this area that could help me pull such a system (or similar approach) together?
