Beginner K3 questions:interface & mikes

[james scott-2]

Greeting's K3 users,
 
     Katiegram says my K3 arrriving soon.  What cable interface/setup do I use for HamRadio Deluxe?  Where do I get one.  I am interested in mike opinions(DXing and ragchew).  I hear the Astatic D10 can be set up  to work well?  Anyone have setup settings for this mike?  Any other recommendations for a beginng user?
 
Regards to all,
 
"Scotty" WK3N beaming up.

>What cable interface/setup do I use for HamRadio Deluxe?  

Virtually any properly wired RS232 cable works for radio control.

>Where do I get one.

It's easy to make one. All you need is a male DB9 connector, a
female DB9 connector, a suitable length of CAT5 cable, and a
soldering iron. Or you can (shudder) buy one. :)  If your computer
lacks a serial port, you'll need some sort of adapter that gives
you a serial port.

>mike opinions(DXing and ragchew).

Almost any decent mic will work VERY well with a K3. The K3 is
VERY flexible -- the built-in equalizer and audio processing can
easily be adjusted to make virtually any decent mic sound great,
with very competitive audio for DXing and contesting.
