[Elecraft] [Elecraft[ [K3] Sound card suggestions

[James Bennett]

Ian - FWIW - I replaced my SLUSB several months ago with a TASCAM US-125M external USB sound card. Got it on Amazon.com <http://amazon.com/>. Selling the SLUSB on eBay paid for the TASCAM unit. I have it connected to my 27” iMac and use it for PSK31, JT65, JT9, and an occasional RTTY QSO. No jumpers to fiddle with, no special cables - simple cables with RCA connectors. Couldn’t be happier with it. The TASCAM units are also recommended on the K9AY web pages.
