I was merely answering Jorge's question. perhaps I should have
given better advice and steered Jorge away from signal link as you
did. I do agree that a signalink or similar is far from ideal and
even less so on the K3 as it would be doubling up on the isolation
transformers that are already part of the KIO3 board in the K3
possibly leading to additional loss in quality.
so to Jorge Diez here is my revised answer!
Forget the signal link, Rigblaster or other commercial fit all rigs
type solution. get a good high quality sound adapter like the tascam
from B&H as stated in Jims article you will be way better off this
way for decoding and encoding for psk, rtty SSTV and more important
JTXX, WSPR etc. than the users of the mediocre commercial "fit all
rigs" solutions and at a better price. I think setting up with this
would actually be simpler than mucking about with the jumpers etc of
the signalink there is no need for a PTT connection either as most
digial software will handle this via command or vox. keep it
available for a foot switch.
I am using an old M-Audio mobile pre USB that was retired from field
recording sound effects. its perfect for this use. I believe it was
Jim's article some years ago that lead me this way and I'm glad I did.
PS B&H is a great source for this kind of stuff I use them for most
of my audio and photo needs.
