[TenTec] Source for Binaural Receiver

[Greg S]

Thanks for your opinion. I just added mine. I will stand by MY observation that the cost of the KIO3B is 18.5% of the cost of a new K3S 10 watt kit radio. That makes it a significant upgrade in my opinion. Happy New Year! Greg, KC8HXO

 Hi Greg,
 
 IMO, the KIO3B is NOT an important upgrade. The USB interface is a
 convenience. The serial port on the original KIO3 is just fine, USB to
 serial adapters are inexpensive, and excellent USB sound cards are
 cheap. I'm using a discontinued Tascam that I paid $75 for, and the
 excellent Asus Xonar can be had for the same price.
 
 I'll stand by my observation that only the synch board(s) and the new
 transverter board are 90% of what matters functionally between new and
 old.    I have three K3s from 2008,    those boards are the only things I
 replaced, and I have no plans to buy a K3S.
 
 73, Jim K9YC
