1) yes you can run SDR in one windows and a digimode program like FLdigi for your KX3 in another.
2) pretty much any USB soundcard/dongle will work for basic digimodes. However, if you want to get something that can also be used for SDR (eg. Using the KX3 I/Q "SDR" output), then you'll need a stereo soundcard with a reasonable sample rate. Something like this will work well: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-Blaster-Surround-System/dp/B0017QQQAE 73, Matt VK2RQ > On 6 Dec 2014, at 2:49 pm, Dave Sublette <k4to.d...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I have had my KX3 for just over a year now, and love it.
