The audio input settings (source jack, bias, mic gain, etc.) are set and remembered independently in voice modes vs data modes.
In voice modes, set the MAIN:MIC SEL, bias and MIC gain control to wherever you need them for your voice and microphone. Set MAIN:MIC+LIN to OFF (unless you are using the computer as a voice keyer). Now put the K3 into DATA A mode. Set MAIN:MIC SEL to LINE IN, make sure MAIN:MIC+LIN is N/A or OFF, and now use the MIC gain control to set the LINE IN level. Typical numbers for this control are often in the range 8-12, but this is in series with the sound card's own Line Out level control in the Windows mixer, so the two control settings interact strongly. Between the sound card control and the K3's MIC control, you should be able to set the audio input level in JT9 or other digital modes to the desired 4-5 bars. 73, Rich VE3KI W5SV wrote: I am trying to get set up for JT9 in Data A mode; I am not getting enough drive from the sound card to adequately drive the K3. ... At the same time, the front mic is working fine (correct bias etc.) and I don't want to lose this. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
