[Elecraft] Signalink and K3 (you do not need need a Signal Link)

The best is to key PTT via the serial port either use RTS or a 
command.  most good digital programs will do this for you.   I use 
VSPE so that I can use serveral programs at once that access the 
serial port that  controls the rig  like MMSSTV and logger.  and RTS 
and DTS will pass through these just fine.


If you accidentally send one of the windows sounds or any other sound 
like DX cluster alert sounds through the rig  you are possibly 
disrupting the other digital signals and as well for many reasons 
breaking the law.  so be sure they are off or not using the card 
connected to the rig.
