Anybody know just what the voltage range can be put out at the line out jack?
Since it is pre-AGC it isn't a "constant level" output but instead varies
with signal strength. CONFIG LIN OUT apparently adjusts the level.
It is in fact post-AGC. CONFIG LIN OUT adjusts the gain of the post-AGC
amplifier that drives LINE OUT.
Most claims of "constant level" output are actually "fixed gain after
AGC", same as the K3.
Your specific case of 1.7 V RMS is 4.8V p-p. The driver for the LINE
OUT output operates from a 3.3V supply, so it probably will not
overdrive your external device in any case.

(You can measure the output with a multimeter in your particular setup
for your particular AGC and other settings.)
