[Elecraft] Best Audio Interfaces 2020?

[Peter Dougherty]

If you have a K3s with the built in codecs that's not the case at all. It's
its own independent audio device. 

For original K3 radios and other earlier rigs without built-in USB audio, I
recommend the Microham Microkeyer-II. It ran my Yaesu Mark V based shack for
about 10 years, and I got the cables to let it handle my K3s for a while,
but eventually I just simplified everything and I took the MK-II out of line
and resorted to USB connectivity. Not a single problem since then. PC
sounds, video, music, etc, go to the motherboard sound interface, and the
rig sounds (digimodes in/out and DVK from the PC to the radio) via the
separate USB interface built into the K3s.

If you have a radio without the USB interface ping me off-list and maybe we
can make a deal on my no-longer-needed MicroKeyer-II?

The matter is that you will send all the OS sounds to that interface
(because you have only one)- and at this point you need to chase all the
notifications what will be sending sound, and you cannot watch youtube
anymore :-)
