[Elecraft] Help setting up digital

[Barry]

Don,
     Using the K3s for digital modes is a lot simpler than it might 
appear. It has a built in sound card that will show up an a USB codec, 
assuming you're connected to your computer using a USB connection.

     Whatever you use for your digital software, it should be set for 
input and output to the USB codec. You will then set the radio to mode: 
DIGITAL A. The rest is setting the levels according to the radio manual. 
This is so much simpler than using external, or internal, sound cards 
and needing additional cables for ins and outs.

73,
Barry
