-----Original Message----- I am puzzled about why you would want to connect your code practice oscillator to this output. If you want code practice, just put the K3 into TX TEST and you will hear sidetone from the K3 as you key it - no need for the external oscillator - but of course, if you 'just want to do it', then by all means go ahead with it.
73, Don W3FPR -------------------------- Why? To set up a ducking test of course :-) Here's the plan. Set the K3 MON level set to zero (no sidetone). KEY OUT connects to the code oscillator which feeds the sidechain input on my external compressor. Feed the K3 audio into the compressor main input and set the compressor to trigger when there is something on the sidechain input. So, when I send CW, the compressor hears the Heathkit oscillator and compresses (attenuates) the audio output from the K3. Using an external mixer, I can mix the compressed audio from the K3 with the audio from the code oscillator. The code oscillator will be constant level while the K3 audio will duck under it. Thanks for being an enabler :-) - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
