I think I may just be overcome by an embarrassment of riches. I have
recently acquired a K3 and the serial to USB cable to run the utility
program.
I would like to try digital -- particularly PSK31 -- which I now do with
IC7000 and Signalink TNC. I have been using FLDIGI satisfactorily.

I suggest connecting the radio to the computer via the single USB
cable. It handles the audio and the radio commands for CAT control.
The SignaLink USB is not needed nor preferred in this case. Configure
the FLDIGI application through the various menus in the software for the
radio using
Steve,
There are many possibilities - my personal recommendations are below:
Your computer likely has a soundcard - to give data modes with the K3 a
try on the K3, just use two stereo cables between your computer and the K3.
Computer Line Out to K3 Line In, and K3 Line Out to the computer Line
The question involved the K3, not the K3S. In the K3, there is an
RS-232 port rather than a USB connection - no soundcard in the K3 - at
least until the KIO3B option is available, and then more confusion will
be present and will result in asking if the owner has the KIO3B or the
K3 original
Sorry, missed that in the subject line.

He said, "K3" and "Serial to USB". There is no audio on the serial port of a K3.
A K3S USB is a different story.
Steve, use the K3 Audio In/Out into the sound card of your computer directly.

I run FLdigi to my K3 via two stereo audio cables (spkr out to K3
line-in; line-in to k3 line-out) and a RS232/USB conversion cable for
controlling PTT on the K3. I use an external souncard with manual
level adjustments (knobs) which I find handy over getting dialog
