[Elecraft] KX3 Internal soundcard

[Joel Black]

Not saying I’d buy an internal sound card for my KX3 but something like this:

I have one and it is very sensitive. I’m not currently using it though because of the lack of external controls, latency, and configuration on my Mac. I have resorted back to my E-MU 0204 which, by the way, is not supported in El Capitan even with 10.11.2 Beta (I am still using 10.10.5 on a Mac that, otherwise, fully supports 10.11).

I mention El Capitan because you have to be careful about all the internal “stuff.” What happens if an OS upgrade makes your internal “stuff” obsolete?

I’d much rather keep my station somewhat externally modular. I like consolidation where it makes sense (I recently bought the P3TXMon upgrade and love it), but I think I’d stay away from the internal sound card. Because of this, I am reluctant to purchase the new KIO3 when it comes available for my K3.
