[Elecraft] K3 Transmit thru Line-In
I can't get any transmit audio via the Line-In connector. Connecting the Mic cable to the rear panel MIC connection produces good transmit power and audio. I know audio is coming from the sound card output because it also drives the computer speaker via its line in connection. I tried moving the Mic connector from the rear panel MIC to the Line-In rear panel position. This still would not produce K3 SSB output. Moving the Line-In connector to the MIC rear panel connector produces good transmit power and audio. The TX lights each time but no output via Line-In The K3 is in LSB mode. TX TEST is in normal. MIC SEL is RPH MIC + LIN is ON. MIC Gain is 30 Comp is 22. Why can't I transmit thru the Line-In connection? 73, Bud W3LL w...@arrl.net __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Did you set the Line In gain control to a value 0? on 09 Mar 05 10:43 Bud Governale, W3LL said the following: I can't get any transmit audio via the Line-In connector.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Transmit thru Line-In
Bud, I suspect your Line In level control may be set to zero. This cannot be adjusted while MIC+LIN is on. In order to adjust the Line In level, you have to set MAIN:MIC SEL to LINE IN. Then adjust the LINE IN level using the MIC control. After the Line In level is set to an appropriate level, you can then set your MAIN:MIC SEL back to RPH and turn MIC+LIN back ON. See the page in the manual on the Main menu functions (p. 52). 73, Rich VE3KI W3LL wrote: I can't get any transmit audio via the Line-In connector.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Transmit thru Line-In
Dont bother with the line in unless you plan to use DATA mode. The jack doesn't seem to activate unless you're in the data mode. Or at least that's what I've found. Turn your gain back up, switch to data mode, then put the VOX on, and try again. I think that you'll find it works just fine. Michael N6MQL _ Express your personality in color!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Transmit thru Line-In
That doesn't sound right, Michael. I'm using N1MM Logger in my laptop for SSB contests so I can use the voice keying feature. I have the laptop output going into the Line In jack on the K3 rear panel. Has been working just fine for me. I do have the VOX selected for keying the radio when voice comes from the laptop. 3 Bob N6WG - Original Message - From: The Smiths notforc...@hotmail.com To: Elecraft Reflector elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 9:58 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Transmit thru Line-In Dont bother with the line in unless you plan to use DATA mode.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Transmit thru Line-In
Huh? Line in works just fine for voice modes, as it's supposed to. You just have to select it and turn up the gain.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Transmit thru Line-In
Hi Mike: LINE-IN with or without VOX works fine here in DATA mode or SSB. But the level settings are not the same between AFSK in DATA (from MixW) and voice in SSB (from WriteLog).
