[Elecraft] New ham and the KX3

[AD0ES]

Sean,

You don't even need a computer interface with the kx3.  Buy the $19 cable set elecraft sells
for this purpose and your ready to rock.  I am using my new kx3 with nothing more than audio in/out
to my laptop and the included USB cable for control via HRD.  Works great.  I managed a 5 watt FeldHELL
contact from CO to IL on 20m with a simple dipole tossed out my office second story window.

    I see that you plan on starting with phone because you are learning 
code. Let me suggest that you add PSK31 to your beginnings. It is a mode 
that really works well at low powers and it's really easy to set up. You 
will need a way to interface your computer to the radio, but that is 
easy. A interface like the SignaLink USB will make it almost mindless; 
they have the cable you will need. The whole package is $100. The
