K3 audio line in/out cables

[N2TK]

I have upgraded both of my K3's to make them as close to a K3S as best I
can. Presently cleaning up the rats nest of cables. I am using USB.

I no longer use the Line IN and OUT jacks.  Presently only using FSK. I plan
on adding FT8 shortly. With the on board CODECs is there any reason I still
need the LINE cables? Want to check to makes sure I am not missing
something.

73,

N2TK, Tony

Tony,

You might want to use LINE IN for computer generated voice or something
like that.
Be aware that if you plug anything into the LINE IN jack, the K3 will
turn off the audio output (but not input) of the USB AUDIO CODEC.

No need for LINE cables if you have the updated USB KIO3 system.
