Been using that arrangement for many years (with my K2, of course) with
excellent results.  Just needed a simple mono/stereo in-line adapter for
the mono "fixed audio" output from the add-on board designed by Don
Wilhem (w3fpr).

Those adapters are very common and inexpensive.   My source:
http://www.pchcables.com/57129.html  (I have no financial investment in
that company, just a very satisfied local customer).

I've used a Griffin iMic "sound card" for years on Macs, iMacs and Mac laptops.

iMic | The original USB audio adapter by Griffin Technology 


No drivers necessary. Stereo L/R channels for dual RX audio decoding.

It works with the Mac digi mode program cocoaModem.

I recently started using WSJTX and the iMic just worked.

Inexpensive. True plug and play. Any problems have been S/W settings, not the 
I/O.

Griffin advertises PC compatibility but I've no experience with an iMic and a 
PC but I wouldn't hesitate to try it.

Re: [Elecraft] line IN and OUT on new computer

2017-08-12 Thread Neil Zampella
FWIW ... I do a lot of JT65/JT9/FT8 digital, and I would definitely 
suggest getting an external USB soundcard for such work.


1.  It eliminates the probably of transmitting any OS 
sounds/beeps/alarms along with your digital audio.

2.  Provides good isolation capabilities
3.  While I'm assuming most built-in laptop soundcards can provide the 
48kHz DVD quality playback/recording you need for programs like WSJT-X, 
you definitely will have that in many of the external soundcards. I 
use a Sound Blaster SBX proaudio soundcard I got a Amazon for around 
$60-65.  I've used it with my IC-715, and KX3 without any issues.

because that jack incorporates both a mono input for the mic and a stereo 
output for the headphones. A very specific connector I found that works is the 
Sennheiser, part no. PCV 05, called Combo Audio Adapter with a produce code of 
504518. That part has worked well for me. I found that part at a Fry's 
Electronics in Austin, TX. An alternative is buy a cheap gaming headset that 
utilizes that single jack and splice in the mono plug for the mic and the 
stereo plug for the headphone to go to the K3.
I hope this helps.

 Hello

I do digital modes with two cables from K3´s LINE IN and OUT to MIC and
PHONES on my old laptop

Looking for a new Laptop, I notice they combine MIC and PHONE in ONLY ONE
3.5 mm connector

Any problem with that?  Just need a Y cable to connect LIN IN and OUT in K3
and on the other side a 3.5 mm audio connector to connect in the laptop and
all will be working correctly?

Or is better to stay with a laptop with two separates connectors for MIC
and PHONE?

thanks

Jorge,

With an adapter, it makes little difference.
But consider an external USB soundcard for your digital modes.
They can be purchased inexpensively, and as long as you set the internal 
soundcard to be default, you do not have to worry about transmitting the 
sounds produced by the operating system.
