Please add my voice to the requests for a fixed line level output for the K3.
Currently I do recordings and manage audio feeds to external devices thusly: K3 monitor on, 2 speakers selected, speakers off (PF-1 Default) K3 line out to a Alesis Nano Comp in. the Nano Comp is set as a hard limiter to clip at +2 VU for when I turn the AGC off (it was just sitting there on my bench, so I *HAD* to use it somewhere!). Alesis Nano Comp out to a Behringer MiniAmp 800 headphone mixer Line A in (Line B is my TS570D line out, sort of a half assed SO2R setup here) Mixer line out 1 to Yamaha CM500 headset Mixer line out 2 to soundcard in (on logger computer - decoder for RTTY/PSK Etc) Mixer line out 3 to soundcard in (on secondardy computer running RecAll to record any audio sent thru the rig) Mixer line out 4 to a Whirlwind audio amp Amp to JBL Control 1's, left and right, for when I want to hear things without the headsets on my head, which is rarely, but then guests like to hear audio... Im probably going to get rid of the speaker chain and get something simpler. I can select what radio goes to the headsets with the A/B buttons on the mixer. I can also roughly "pan" the audio using the AMP800's pan pots to center the audio in my headset (I have some hearing loss in my right ear). When using the second receiver, I can also adjust levels/strength of each receiver using the AMP800 pan pots and not the radio controls. It works for me, your milage may vary. I can simultaneously record, run speakers and/or headphones, record what I send in all modes and adjust levels seprarately. Unfortunately, when I have to adjust audio level with the radio's volume pot(s), all the other levels downstream also change (line out is controlled by the volume pot) It certainly would be nice to have a FIXED level out of that line out jack and be able to adjust levels on the headset mixer to the individual outputs without having the rig volume pot interfere. -lu-W4LT- #3192 Message: 30 Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2010 05:05:46 -0700 (PDT) From: ab2tc <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3: Recording from LIN OUT To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi, I support the request for a fixed level line out for the TX audio very much. I do not find the current options satisfactory. AB2TC - Knut Peter-64 wrote: > > Hector and several others, > > Yes its possible to record your own audio.
