[Elecraft] [K3] Line Out level

2013-01-08 Thread Jim Sheldon
Is there any chance of getting the K3's line out level lowered? Even when set to it's lowest level of 1, it puts out a bit too much audio for my TASCAM US-100 external sound card. The TASCAM has an external input level control and even with it all the way down, the K3 puts out too much audio

Jim, I'm not familiar w/ your Tascam, but perhaps it's setup as a mic level input (as opposed to line level)? just a thought... 73, Jeff KC9WSJ On Tue, Jan 08, 2013 at 12:50:05PM -0600, Jim Sheldon wrote: Is there any chance of getting the K3's line out level lowered? Even when set to it's

I usually run the line out level around 20. If you need it to be less than 1, you must be feeding a mic level input. Sounds like you need to add an attenuator, if you can't use a line-level input. 73, ~iain / N6ML On Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 10:50 AM, Jim Sheldon w...@cox.net wrote: Is there

[Elecraft] K3: Line Out level

2009-12-26 Thread James Sarte
Greetings to the group! Quick question: I normally keep the line out set to 5 or 10; I haven't seen the need until now to increase it. I recently discovered a recording utility built in to HRD, and leaving the line out level at 5 or 10 usually results in a low-volume recording. I've fiddled

James, You will not hurt the K3, but if the transformers saturate, you will get distortion. As long as the level of distortion is OK to your ears, I would judge everything to be OK. 73, Don W3FPR James Sarte wrote: Greetings to the group! Quick question: I normally keep the line out set to

have found that a line output level of 50 is pretty good. Hi James. I use Audacity with the Lame MP3 plug-in to record beacons and intruders. With the PC sound card mic level at max, I need the K3 Line out at about 20 to get enough audio for Audacity. Can't hear any distortion but I'm

For digimodes like WSPR I use a Microham Digikeyer and set the K3 Line Out level to 10, which is the maximum recommended before the possibility of distortion is introduced. At this level I have to set the Digikeyer RX input control to max to obtain proper decoding etc and being at maximum

Hi all, I am experimenting with recording QSOs. If I want to record my own transmission too, I have to set CONFIG: LIN OUT =PHONES. This links the line out level to the AF pot meter settings. However, the level is too low for a decent recording unless I want to blow my eardrums. When in LIN OUT
