Don,
Using the K3s for digital modes is a lot simpler than it might
appear. It has a built in sound card that will show up an a USB codec,
assuming you're connected to your computer using a USB connection.
Whatever you use for your digital software, it should be set for
input and output to the USB codec. You will then set the radio to mode:
DIGITAL A. The rest is setting the levels according to the radio manual.
This is so much simpler than using external, or internal, sound cards
and needing additional cables for ins and outs.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Help setting up digital
I, too echo my sense of confusion with my K3S and data modes. With 4
Data Modes to select from, a couple of which support the keyer paddle,
and some external audio connections, and some that use the USB cable,
not to mention the fact that there is a built-in "sound card"
capability . . .
A few times I've sat down and tried to summarize all this for myself
with no luck, even with Fred's book. So far I've managed to decode
both RTTY and PSK31 signals via the Utility progam, and with MMTTY for
RTTY. I hesitate to take the "just shut up and do it" approach,
preferring instead to understand what's going on.
Maybe some one has already published a "white paper" on this topic.
The ARRL books on digital aren't much help because of the unique
capabilities of the K3S.

howdy friends
I recently upgraded my K3 by adding the KIO3BUPKT KIO3B Upgrade Kit
for K3. I would love to start working digital. I’m a total and
complete newbie at digital. I need someone who is willing to walk me
through step by step in setting this up.
I’m primarily interested in RTTY only. I did buy a Signal Link USB
before I purchased the KIO3 Upgrade, but never used it. I understand
that with the KIO3B Upgrade I DO NOT need the signal link.
I run Windows 7 on my computer. Rig control with the K3 and N1MM is
working great.
I use N1MM and would like to work RTTY with that. I don’t want to
clutter up with a bunch of different programs.
Anyone willing to help out a Digital Newb?
Thanks and God Bless
