Re: [Elecraft] Setting up FLDIGI on K3s

Within FLDIGI there is a transmit audio level control in the lower right corner.    Just below the LK tab.   I use a value of -15.  The arrows left and right of the box will increase or decrease the level going to the radio.  My Line Gain which is adjusted by using the MIC knob is at 30.

To those having problems with DATA modes, take a look at the article on my website www.w3fpr.com. Scroll the left column to the last article and click on it to open the document. While VOX should reliably put the radio into transmit, you can set FLDIGI to use PTT via CAT command - BUT don't

Download and install FLRig. Setup is straight forward and they support K3 (and maybe KX3 but since they're all the same command language, K3 should work). FLRig implements CAT control eliminating the need to use VOX. HTH 73, Brian, K0DTJ

Yes, we agree - the delay and averaging for forward power for just the LCD display was incorrectly set to too low of a value in 2.10. Fortunately this is only a LCD display issue and does not impact the Power/SWR bargraph or internal operations of the amp. We'll get this fixed in a new f/w

Hi Group: Don't forget, it's not difficult to feed the rig's audio output to a modest audio mixer (check a music store), which would easily permit you to independently adjust the audio levels of the feed to your headset or speakers.   This could be made to work for a "mono" feed (single

You could run the K3 audio through your computer system and adjust the balance in its sound mixer. Or install more sophisticated mixing software like VoiceMeeter which will give you a 15-band graphic equalizer and processing effects; also a handy way to record on air activity. 73, Drew AF2Z
