[Elecraft] line IN and OUT on new computer

[Mike Furrey]

Yes, that is the one I have. There are probably less expensive ones I could have ordered but I needed it "NOW" and bought it off the shelf. It works well for me with a new laptop and Windows 10 (Ugh).

Hi Jorge,The "Y"connector will not work, There is a very specific connector with three rings and a tip needed for that single new style jack on the laptops because that jack incorporates both a mono input for the mic and a stereo output for the headphones. A very specific connector I found that works is the Sennheiser, part no. PCV 05, called Combo Audio Adapter with a produce code of 504518. That part has worked well for me. I found that part at a Fry's Electronics in Austin, TX. An alternative is buy a cheap gaming headset that utilizes that single jack and splice in the mono plug for the mic and the stereo plug for the headphone to go to the K3.
I hope this helps.

 Hello

I do digital modes with two cables from K3´s LINE IN and OUT to MIC and
PHONES on my old laptop

Looking for a new Laptop, I notice they combine MIC and PHONE in ONLY ONE
3.5 mm connector

Any problem with that?  Just need a Y cable to connect LIN IN and OUT in K3
and on the other side a 3.5 mm audio connector to connect in the laptop and
all will be working correctly?

Or is better to stay with a laptop with two separates connectors for MIC
and PHONE?

thanks
