When you record both XMT and RCV audio the level is controlled by the AF Gain control on the K3 rather than a fixed level output. To keep from distorting on the laptop you have to keep from turning the AF Gain up too high, which can cause distortion on the laptop. This can make it difficult to copy weak stations on the air.

I have used Writelog and N1MM to test this. But if the laptop is independent of the logging PC you could use Audacity - a free audio program.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 and recording SSB


Hey Folks,

I'm planning a serious effort for CQWW SSB in October and would like
to record the entire contest digitally to my laptop (not the logging
computer, a different one). I'd like to also include in the recording
the monitor audio on XMIT, is this possible?

If anyone has had any great success with any particular computer
recording software, I'd love to hear about that, too. My plan is to
just run the LINE-OUT from the K3 to my MIC-IN on my laptop, and
adjust MIC levels until I have something that doesn't distort. Any
words of wisdom or success stories are welcome...

Thanks!

Jeff N6GQ
