[Elecraft] RTTY

[Don Wilhelm]

Gerald,

Can I assume a K3S or a K3 that has been upgraded with the KIO3B?
The "built-in" soundcard on your K3S is like an external soundcard.  You 
will not use the internal soundcard on the computer, but use that USB 
"soundcard" instead for the data audio to and from the K3.

If you have a K3 without the new KIO3B, then an external soundcard would 
be in order.
Just make sure that external soundcard is *not* the default soundcard.  
It is common for Windows (or other OS) to set the latest installed 
soundcard as default.

Tell your data mode applications which soundcard to use.

Your computer sounds and background music will come out of your computer 
speakers, and the data mode communications will use the 'external' 
soundcard - there should be no conflict.  It is all in the computer setup.

73,
