[Elecraft] K3S's built-in RTTY

[Don Wilhelm]

Don,

The K3S built in soundcard will relieve you from the cabling problems 
associated with an external soundcard (or Signalink which is actually a 
single channel external soundcard).

It will not relieve you of the "level tweaking" because the K3S CODEC is 
nothing more than a soundcard built into the K3S - the same audio level 
adjustments that would be used for another external (or internal) 
soundcard still have to be manipulated.  To the computer, the K3S 
internal soundcard is "just another external (to the computer) soundcard".

The terminology depends on whether you are looking at it from the 
computer side or the K3S side.

73,
