Allow me to add a dissenting voice.  I found it much easier (with admittedly 
more clutter) to set proper audio/ALC levels with my K3 and the computer sound 
card than I do with my K3S and the built in sound card/USB interface.  There are 
other issues related to Mic/Line Level/VOX/Anti-VOX that I brought to Elecraft's 
attention 8 months ago and that reportedly were "discovered" by one of their 
engineers before my report and was going to be bumped up "the list."

If this had been fixed, I wouldn't be bringing it up.
