[Elecraft] Upgrade to KIO3B?

[Edward R Cole]

Larry,

Considering your current configuration is working with the KIO3A, 
probably easier to stay with it.

My situation is a bit simpler as I just run digital modes with DATA-A 
and the line-in and line-out lines with my USB/RS232 conversion cable 
connecting RTS/DTR lines to the K3: "Not broken so why fix it?".

Having direct USB interface for my K3 offers little inducement to 
upgrade the KIO3.  I have two SYN boards to install which I will use 
on 630m very nicely and should possibly improve receive due to lower 
phase noise.

So like you, I will defer the upgrade...at least for now.

I am sticking with my old XP32 computer and will soon disconnect it 
from the internet, running exclusively ham applications.  My 
internet/e-mail will be transferred to a laptop which has win10.

If/when my old stuff croaks then upgrades may be in order, but my 
soundcards are not supported by win10 and most replacements do not 
check out well for my special applications (dual-pol adaptive 
reception of eme signals in diversity mode).

Don, Joe,

          Thanks for your replies. I'll stick with my USB sound cards for
now.
