[Elecraft] Little brown truck arrived w/ my K3!

[David Cole]

Hi,
I used to use a Rigblaster on my old Icom, I got the K3, and after
asking was told no need...  I reluctantly connected everything, and it
works just fine with out an interface...  No hum, everything works very
well...  I have no wires coming out the front of the rig, nor to I have
to rewire for mode changes...  I am totally happy with teh lack of an
interface...  

Do download everything K9YC has published and read it...

However, from what I’ve read, adjustment is very sensistive and it is more susceptible to hum , RF pickup, etc.  And you have to deal with how your computer handles the audio (mixers, audio enhancement, etc.)    The SignaLink is a good, simple, reliable interface, well worth it IMO.
