Re: [Elecraft] KX3 - Splitting receive audio between PC and external speaker?

I use a five-way splitter. Three jacks are used: headset, audio amp to speakers, and USB audio interface. https://smile.amazon.com/Belkin-RockStar-5-Jack-Headphone-Splitter/dp/B00E9W11QM/ wunder K6WRU Walter

Re: [Elecraft] 10 dB or 3?

In 2015 I had Shingles of the facial nerve (Ramsay Hunt Syndrome) and it caused me to lose 100% of my hearing on the right. Some came back but I have a -85 dB loss in my right ear and what I do hear is not what you hear but attenuated. Noise of any kind makes it difficult to hear and I

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 - Splitting receive audio between PC and external speaker?

For doing this, what I do is go into the control panel for the audio input device in Windows and check "Listen to this device", and then set the output for listening to the PC's speakers. Then if you want to hear your transmitted signal, you can also turn on the MON function of the KX3. They hid

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 - Splitting receive audio between PC and external speaker?

I have been successful using headphones with an audio splitting cable. 3.5mm stereo into the radio and two 3.5mm stereo sockets for the sound card and the phones. 73 Bill AE6JV On 12/14/18 at 4:24 PM, mspma...@gmail.com (Mike Parkes) wrote: I am interested in determining the best way to

You have the physical connections right Don. RUMlog has been replaced by RUMlogNG, available through the Apple App store with a donation requested. Its been a while since I used RUMlog, but the basic setup is similar. Mine is: Use CAT checked For RTTY use Data AFSK A For PSK use Data

[Elecraft] KX3 - Splitting receive audio between PC and external speaker?

I am interested in determining the best way to split out the KX3's receive audio for digital modes to an external speaker, so that if I want, I can listen to the band while running digital sound card modes. (Maybe I am just too old school, but my older rigs (like the IC-751a) could do this easily

Re: [Elecraft] K3 to MacBook connections

Lee, I am not a Mac user, but the connection should be easy. It will be the same port and connection that you use for loading firmware to the K3. Just tell Rumlog to use that same COM port. All the rest is your software application (Rumlog) setup, and I cannot help with that part, but you

[Elecraft] K3 to MacBook connections

Okay- Elecraft community please, I need basic help bringing my operations into the 21st century. Question: How does a simple (and cheap) ham do the physical connections between his K3 & MacBook laptop for RumLog to do automated logging and other functions as outlined in the RumLog Manual?

If you don’t want to change the plug on the key, a stereo to mono splitter will also work. The left channel is connected to the tip. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Dec 14, 2018, at 6:06 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > > Mike, > > Plugging a mono

Re: [Elecraft] Restaurant Noise

There is NOTHING worse. It will turn a “5” into an “I won’t be back”. One of the upscale restaurants near me I frequent has two areas. One is the “you can’t hear yourself think much less have a conversation, but it seems like a party” space, and the other is “quiet" space. It’s the only

And for us as well. I often review restaurants on Yelp and Trip Advisor, and excessive noise will turn five stars for food and service into two or three. These places are noisy because of a cynical business philosophy that a high noise level creates excitement, and also causes tables to turn

I use this external audio amp with my KX3 to drive speakers. It is just a few components wrapped around a standard audio amp chip. Stereo, 15 W per channel, volume control, runs on 9-18 V, costs $9. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C4MT274/

Re: [Elecraft] 10 dB or 3?

To add to what Don said, Restaurant noise levels are a plague for me. With my hearing loss the noise level just shoves everything to sound like noise with no intelligence detectable. I note that some now have cc activated on TV's with sound turned down to keep background sound lowered.

All concerned: I've searched the archives to no avail for the solution to this challenge. If there were refs, I missed 'em. The Heil, CM500 etc., etc., cans I've tried out, on the K3/0 mini front and side audio outputs, simply do not put enough sound pressure on my TOEs (tired old ears). The

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 - ERR KEY when using hand key

Mike, Plugging a mono plug into a stereo adapter will ground the ring contact of the adapter's stereo plug. The ring contact of the end with the stereo jack will contact the shell (base) of the mono plug. Holding either paddle contact grounded when you power on will cause an ERR PTT or KEY

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 - ERR KEY when using hand key

Thank you Jim! I figured that was the case. Well... I think I found a solution although it is a little gangsta... I just wrapped the "ring" area on the 1/4" plug with some scotch tape to make sure the ring isn't keyed, only the tip. And that works! I am able to key the rig, however now whenever

[Elecraft] KX3 - ERR KEY when using hand key

Hi everyone. Trying to get set up here with a hand key for the first time with the KX3. I acquired a key that came with a 1/4" plug, so I thought I could buy an adapter that would take this down to a 1/8" plug and avoid having to solder anything. The 1/8" plug is stereo, and the meter shows that
