To be strict, a stereo gain control (volume is a misnomer) will adjust both channels equally, then if supplied, there is a balance control which creates a ratio of left to right channel gain which is maintained regardless of the gain control.
What you seem to be asking for is the ability to treat left and right as if they were independent channels, which I would guess is very rare in drivers. "Volume" depends on channel gain and a lot of other things. At the input of various end user devices, the volume range is specified. The volume coming from upstream devices can depend on a lot of things, RF gain, AGC settings, conditions, and possibly others in addition to codec channel gain. Why would you need a stereo balance control for use in data modes? Dual RX and "diversity" decode? If a K3 dual RX diversity kind of operation, why wouldn't equal gain on left and right be required? Regardless, 73 and good luck, Guy K2AV On Tue, Jun 14, 2016 at 4:54 PM, Ed Muns <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, there are two receive audio channels for the Main and Sub receivers in > the CODEC.
