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

[Bill Frantz]

I know the public service/emcom people have pushed on this 
issue, because a fair number of public service events involve 
providing communication support for parades, and parades have 
bands, and bands are quite loud and overcome even a noise 
canceling microphone. I think there has even been an official 
ruling that these incidental sounds, that come along for the 
ride with legal communication, won't get you a notice from the FCC.

Now transmitting voice in the CW bands is a different story. For 
starts, it's not incidental to legal communication.
