... allow routing the front or rear panel microphone input, after the microphone gain adjustment/control to the LINE OUT socket and route LINE IN to the normal SSB processing. This could allow one to add an external stage of processing: mic -> K3 in -> mic gain -> line out -> black box -> line in -> ssb processing Good idea? Bad idea? A possible distant future to do? -- Toby, Sounds okay, but you can essentially do the same thing now simply by foregoing the K3's mic gain stage, i.e. ... mic -> black box -> K3 in -> ssb processing However, what I don't know without referring to the K3 schematics, is where in the chain the TX EQ and Compression are applied? If either or both are in the K3's "mic gain" stage, that would make your suggestion that much more desirable. BTW, what exactly do you envision this black box doing? Is it implemented in hardware or in software? Might it be better to implement it within the K3's firmware? 73, Gary KI4GGX _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
