Ken, It all depends. If your connection to line in is for data modes, then no problem - set line in as the MIC SEL entry for DATA modes.
OTOH, if you are using line in for voice modes, you will be forced to set MIC + LIN on in the menu, and in that case, both the microphone and Line In will be live. If your setup does not require MIC + LIN, then the 3 audio inputs - FP mic, RP mic and line in are mutually exclusive. So bottom line, the answer to your question depends on your operating needs and you setup. If you do need to use both a microphone and Line in for voice modes, I suggest that you connect a microphone to the soundcard and let the software application sort things out for you. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/13/2012 5:58 PM, Ken KG0WX wrote: > I am waiting on my K3 kit to arrive (Friday?).
