[Elecraft] K3S vs. K3

[Joel Black]

Mike,

I just went by the K3S FAQ where it states: “KIO3B… …Eliminates need for PC sound card and cables…”

Perhaps I just assumed there was an audio chip built onto the board. Right now, if you choose, you can take the audio in / out of the KIO3 and feed it to a sound card (I chose an external E-MU 0204 because of its specs), you still interface with a sound card *somewhere*. The way the FAQ is written, I thought the audio chip was built in on the new IO board.

73,
