Yes. Here's how you do it... Hold the Menu/Config button. Turn the VFO B knob until you see SPKR + PH in the lower right hand portion of the display. Turn the VFO A knob until you see the setting you want (YES or no). If you set YES you will have speaker AND Phone output. If you choose no

Yes, this caught me out (for I don't know how many times before) during JOTA, where I was listening with phones, while others were listening on the speaker - so monitor was on (I tend to have it up high, so when I talk, I don't shout, which I have a tendency to do). Then I key'd the mic and

Is there any way to switch off the monitoring feed to the speaker(s) to avoid feedback, while leaving it available as usual in the headphones? The short answer is no. Both the headphone and speaker outputs are derived from the same DAC and share the common audio lowpass filter. Although the

In a word, no. The same D to A converter that drives the headphones drives the speaker amplifier, too. You can have both, or just headphones, but as long as the headphones are plugged in, you can't have speaker with no headphones. Due to the need for anti-pop circuitry in the speaker

Sorry I misunderstood. I don't believe I've ever seen a rig that would do that. 73, Tom Childers Radio Amateur N5GE Licensed since 1976 QCWA Member 35102 ARRL Life Member On Tue, 23 Nov 2010 10:45:58 +, Ian White GM3SEK gm3...@ifwtech.co.uk wrote: Amateur Radio Operator N5GE wrote: Yes.

Don, There is no switch to turn the monitor on or off. If you don't want to here it set it to zero. I keep the latest version of the K3 Owner's Manual on my desk top. By using the find function in Adobe Reader you can find most things your curious about in the manual. Enjoy your K3! 73, Tom

Dear all, I have my speaker output connected to a graphic equalizer to try and improve my audio. The problem is that I want to turn off the monitoring when transmitting so I dont hear myself in the earphones because when transmitting on 20m and above the equalizer is not happy and it over
