Re: [Elecraft] K4 sound card capability
As there is not even a block diagram published, I don't know the answer, but ideally one would not want baseband analogue audio anywhere in the path, so one would not want a sound card, integrated or not, but rather direct access to a digital feed from the DSP.

Yes the USB cable does this. I’m fairly early in Grp 1 and I’m not convinced I’ll see mine before Xmas.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 sound card capability
Yes, same as the USB CAT and sound card for the K3S so you will just need a usb cable to your computer. Standard drivers so no need for a driver disk like some other radios. 73, tom w7sua On 10/4/2020 12:07 PM, Terry Brown wrote: I have a KX3 which connects to a signalink that connects to my computer for digital modes.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 sound card capability
Terry, the K4 will connect with a USB cable to your PC, you will not need a Signalink. It will have a much better soundcard than the Signalink provides. Since the K4 manuals are now online, you can download the PDF and see for yourself. FWIW .. you don't need the Signalink with the KX3, just a set of stereo cables, and a USB soundcard.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 sound card capability
The K3S, K3 with KIO3B, and K4 all have built-in "sound cards". I've used this capability for FT8 and RTTY with AFSK. The single USB cable makes available a "sound card" and a virtual serial port that looks to your PC like an RS-232 serial port. 73 de Dick, K6KR -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Terry Brown Sent: Sunday, October 4, 2020 12:08 To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K4 sound card capability I have a KX3 which connects to a signalink that connects to my computer for digital modes.

[Elecraft] K4 sound card capability
I have a KX3 which connects to a signalink that connects to my computer for digital modes. I have not owned a K3(S). I assume the K4 has an internal sound card to take the place of the signalink but I don’t know how it interfaces to my computer and it’s programs. Is the only thing needed a usb connection between the K4 and computer? Hoping to see my K4 by year’s end. I’m near the end of Group 1 and have no idea how many are in Group 1.
