Gerald,

Can I assume a K3S or a K3 that has been upgraded with the KIO3B?
The "built-in" soundcard on your K3S is like an external soundcard. You will not use the internal soundcard on the computer, but use that USB "soundcard" instead for the data audio to and from the K3.

If you have a K3 without the new KIO3B, then an external soundcard would be in order. Just make sure that external soundcard is *not* the default soundcard. It is common for Windows (or other OS) to set the latest installed soundcard as default.

Tell your data mode applications which soundcard to use.

Your computer sounds and background music will come out of your computer speakers, and the data mode communications will use the 'external' soundcard - there should be no conflict. It is all in the computer setup.

Hello all:
      I have a K3/P3 and want to do RTTY, JT,  PSK.   I know that there is a
section, Page 31, in the manual that  address this area.  I do not wish to
use the sound card in my PC as I  listen to back ground music while on the
air. No the QSO can not hear it as I  have checked that out. For those that
are into digi would you suggest  the built in function on the K3 or an
external and why .  What  external if any and why.
