Robert, The USB cable to ACC1 will indeed provide you with CAT control of the KX3.
I do not understand "IMAC stereo line in" - I only discuss in acronyms that are defined in the KX3 manual, and "IMAC" is not one of them. Yes, you will have to build your own cables. There may be KX3 specific cables offered further down the road, but that is not today's situation. A cable from the interface audio output to the KX3 microphone input and a cable from the KX3 headphone output to the interface Audio input should be all that is required. If you have a cable from the computer usb or serial port, that cable can provide keying of the KX3, but without that cable, VOX is a viable solution, so use it unless you have other considerations. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/22/2012 9:44 PM, Robert Galambos wrote: > so just came back from Dayton and found out a couple of things. > > 1) neither west mountain nor signallink external sound cards have cables > for the new KX3 > > 2) so given that i will try to set up the radio with using the internal > IMAC stereo line in for digital But the manual is light on the set up.
