I am glad that I started soundcard programs way back before
commercial interfaces were born. It is so simple to make. I bought
two 600-ohm pc board 1:1 audio transformers from RS and one 2n3904,
some resistors and caps. That was to set up my FT-847 on psk-31. I
then used the interface to run the WSJT suite of programs.
When it came time to interface my K3, it was way more simple: connect
line-in and line out audio with standard computer cables and connect
a RS-232 patch cable with sub-D 9-pin connectors. Of course I have a
computer with a RS-232 serial port and run winXP. I guess it you are
using a brand new win7 quad-core computer with only USB ports it
might be more difficult. You would have to get a USB/RS-232 cable.
I have more problems with finding the dialog boxes in the computer to
adjust audio in/out levels.
