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

[Mike Harris]

Not really. It all boils down to understanding what you are doing. 
Windows sounds can be turned off. The best sound card in the world isn't 
going to stop anyone from transmitting garbage. Understanding includes 
setting the audio levels correctly throughout the system. I've used my 
PC sound system with two simple audio cables for years. Now I have 
upgraded my K3 with the K3s I/O and simply pipe audio, CAT, PTT and PC 
CW down the one USB cable.
