[Elecraft] External sound card advice needed to attach to K3

I've been quite comfortable with the StarTech ICUSBAUDIO7D - on my 
second, and still available.  Most of my audio problems are Windows 10's 
fault, or mine.

Rather than FSK, I suggest you start with Data A - The K3's AFSK seems 
to work very well on my S/N 4275, and there's no requirement for 
external FSK hardware.
