Thanks for that Joe, reassuring to know that levels higher than 10 can be accommodated without problem.
>as long as the AGC is set to >reasonably limit audio levels. Well, I use AGC-S and have never felt the need to change any of the other agc parameters so they are all set to default values - presumably this is ok ??? Trevor G0KTN -------- Original Message -------- Trevor, If you have AGC enabled in the K3, the Line Out level can be increased considerably beyond 10. Although I find Line Out at 10 works very well with the DigiKeyer input level at 3:00, I have run the Line Out as high as 70 without distortion as long as the AGC is set to reasonably limit audio levels. 73, ...
