Jim,
Yes, switching between digital and SSB modes on the KX3 is troublesome
from the requirements imposed by the single Mic input jack and the
single headphone (SPKR) jack.
For convience in switching between Data modes and speech modes, you will
have to go with the K3 which has independent per mode selections. The
KX3 was not designed to have that same capability.
With the KX3, some form of external switching would be required to
switch from microphone input to your digital inputs. Attenuators in the
PC soundcard to KX3 audio input might be requited so you do not have to
contend with the differences in audio levels.
Such switching was not a part of the KX3 design, and you may wnat to
upgrade to a K3 for your station instead of the KX3.

Be nice to add to a wish list is to put a 6-pin mini-din connector
On the KX3. This would have a pin for Mic input, Ground, Key line,
And a line out audio level fixed level.
This would allow the end user to take his computer/KX3/Signalink
Out into the field and run digital fairly easy. This is just a
Wish for something in the future. By the way, great rig.
