[Elecraft] KX3 PHONES Jack for Digital Programs

[Ed G]

Hello,
     Just checking on this...I am using an interface cable to my computer's
sound card with a stereo plug on one end. I am plugging this in to the
PHONES jack on my KX3. The cable is only using the tip for audio to the
sound card, so essentially the ring (half of the KX3's audio output) is
open. Is this ok for the KX3's audio output circuitry?
     Also, Frank Cady's KX3 book tells me it is ok to use a mono plug to
connect to the PHONES jack. I have not chosen to do this, but wouldn't that
short half of the KX3 output to ground (I suspect there is internal
protection for this)?
     My connections seem to be working fine, but I want to make sure I am
not overstressing something.
