Hi Jim,
When I travel, I have a Surface Pro 2 that I take with me along with my
KX3. I don't use the signal link at all. I would probably have slightly
better bandwidth and signal, but I just use the on board sound card with
a proper TRRS adapter to split off the mic and headphones. I got mine
from amazon for 6 bucks maybe. Then I just use the USB from the KX3 and
connect the headphone out of KX3 to the mic in of the surface and
headphone out of surface to mic on the KX3 with the cable set that
Elecraft sells. I've made plenty of contacts that way without any issues
with DXLab Suite, HRD and FLDigi and have used it with RMS Express via
the winmor protocol. You may have to adjust the levels of your sound
card in the surface, but as I said, I use it quite regularly without any
problems what so ever.
I do have a signal link, but I have yet to use it with my setup. Other
than the adapter, adjusting levels, and plugging in cables, it should
just work. Just make sure your software knows which com port the KX3 is
on. I sometimes forget that part and bang my head for a while trying to
figure out why it's not working right. hi hi
I love the setup and it's nice not having to drag around extra cables
and boxes in my suitcase just to work digital. Again, you may have a
cleaner and/or slightly strong signal with a dedicated sound card like
the signal link, but I haven't had any problems making contacts without
it. And to me, it's one less point of failure I have to worry about. YMMV.
