[Elecraft] K3 SignaLink & FT8 Question

[Bill Frantz]

You certainly don't need a SignaLink or any computer sound card 
with an upgraded K3 or a K3S.

The early SignaLinks has a number of problems. I saw a web site 
that gave directions for fixing them, opened up my, by now quite 
old, SignaLink and found that every one of the modifications was 
included in my version of the SignaLink.

BTW, I am using a $5 from Amazon sound dongle with a homebrew 
audio cable (with a pad to reduce the Mic input to the dongle) 
with my KX3. It is much smaller and therefore easier to 
transport, but works well.
