Digital with the K3 is much like with other rigs but with a few differences

Im not sure if you have a K3 or K3s but neither need a signal link but they can be used. the K3s has a built in sound adapter that can is used through the USB port. with an older K3 you can use any sound adapter including the one built into most computers and connect it to the line in and out on the rear of the K3, it has internal isolation so this function of a signallink is not really needed.

For software you can use what ever you chose be it FLdigi HRD or MMvari or whatever you prefer. setup is a little different regarding driving the rig. with most rigs you want to drive it with no ALC meter deflection. with the K3 however it should be with the fourth bar showing and flickering the fifth bar. you then adjust your output power with the power adjustment. runining digital with a K3 it is possible to run much more power out than with most conventional rigs. this setup makes the K3 in my opinion a fantastic rig for digital modes.

there are alot of fine points using the different digital settings on the rig. so the manual will be a must if not Fred Caddy's book. which is highly recommended.

I'm new to Elecraft and was wondering how most of you handle digital communications.

Use the K3 Utility program for digital modes or something like SignalLink USB with fldigi or equivalent?
