[Elecraft] KX3 and FreeDV

[Jim Rhodes]

An inexpensive USB sound card (look for one with line in) say about $15(US)
and a couple of audio cables is all you need. Set your levels (4 bars with
5th flashing on transmit, best decode on receive) and away you go. I am not
familiar with FreeDV, if it has the ability to do PTT over com port you can
key with that, otherwise you can set up VOX. KX3 does not do FSK, you have
to use AFSK. Not a big deal, just keep an eye on the transmit level.
