[Elecraft] KX3 and the Sigmalink USB

[Neil Zampella]

Why must you turn them off ... I've not touched either, and have no
problems with digital modes.   I also use a USB soundcard to keep
computer sounds separate.

In DATA A, the MIC button functions are disabled.    And Fred Cady, KE7Z
(SK) in his KX3 book makes no mention of having to do anything with the
bias.

As far as the speaker, I would rather not have to listen to the
cacophony of tones using WSJT-X modes, but if you need to hear it, you
can usually run the a USB soundcard's line-in through your computer
speaker or headphone jack.
