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

[Jim McDonald]

I've used that successfully too.  Here's a link to it on Amazon:

I discontinued using it when I got my K3S and later my microKEYER III, which I like very much.

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.
