Bob's statement (below) provides a good reason for using a dedicated USB
soundcard for digital modes - and make sure Windows does not set it as
the default soundcard.
You do not need an expensive soundcard for digital modes, many of them
can be found in the $25 price range and are more than
As I've written in the past, there are 3 places which affect the audio
levels. As a good rule, all three need to be adjusted and all about
the same value. Thus the computer SPKR level needs to be about 30% to
40%, the WSJT-X PWR slider about 30% to 40% and the radio line gain
about 30%
Bill & all those who replied,
Thanks. I had tried turning everything to
around 52 in the windows device but that
did not resolve the issue. I dropped it to
1/3 and indeed that resolved the issue.
I've no idea why things are so different
than they were but They are what they are.
Thank you!
You need to back down the level out of the computer. Also the PWR level in the
software, which is actually audio level , needs to be backed down. This
should allow you to run the Line Gain at 25 to 35. Never run any of the
controls or levels at maximum or near minimum. Mid range is best
Go to the Win10 volume mixer. Turn down the wsjt slider to about 30% from the
bottom. Now the K3 Lin In control will have the proper adjustment sensitivity.
