Michael - You don't need a computer to send and decode PSK31 and CW.
Provision for decoding and sending PSK31 and CW are already built into
the KX3 firmware. All you need to do is to plug a paddle into your KX3
and set up the menu accordingly and you're away.

You do not need an interface. If you do want outboard USB audio, you can do a
lot better than Tigertronics for less money. But for most uses, the audio built
into the computer is just fine.
