Slava,

If you are using a microphone input for data modes, adjusting the mic gain input for the data mode interface will affect the mic gain with your microphone. You will probably find this annoying.

The usual arrangement is to configure voice modes to use the front- or rear-panel microphone input, as appropriate for your microphone, with the mic gain level set properly for the mike, and then to configure Data modes to use Line In, with the Line In level set appropriately for data mode input. The Line In level and the microphone input level are independent, so adjusting the Line In level for data modes has no effect on microphone input levels, which is not the case if you use a microphone input for data modes.

If you use a sound card for voice keying, you can use the same sound card for Data modes. You would configure MIC+LIN to be on for voice modes and off for Data modes. By controlling the microphone input level to the sound card when you use it as a voice keyer, you can set things up so the Line In level that works for data modes is also the correct setting for voice keying in voice modes. You don't need separate sound cards or interfaces for Data vs. voice modes.

Hi Don, list!
I wanted to ask you if it would be possible to make a cable for the Signalink 
USB box \
to connect to the K3's 8-pin front side mic connector? I have the Signalink box 
that \
i'm using with my Yaesu 857D but i want to also try it with the K3. The K3's 
rear \
line-in is currently taken by my audio stuff. Line out is free for now.
I see that RigBlaster has an option of using K3's 8-pin, so i'm sure Signalink 
should \
be able to use that as well, right? If all the necessary pins are there i could 
make \
up a CAT5 (or even 6) cable with RJ-45.
