Yes use the same setting as you would for PSK or any other sound card
based digital mode using DATA-A. Set the computer output level to
just make bar 5 flicker in the ALC. Keep the output power down a bit.
If you run full power and read a novel the PA temp will rise quite high
after a few minutes. I keep it around 60W or so. I don't do that
much Freedv just enough to try for a few QSOs. but use Easypal that
send a similar digital signal out and the same power rule applies.
I have found that the mode works but the signal has to be fairly strong
over the noise to decode well. nice and quite when you are receiving
no hiss etc. definitely not for DX but fine for rag chew or a round
table where all the signals are strong.

Hi Eric,
I've used it with my KX3 and used DATA A mode and set the audio levels like I
would for other digital modes. I would think the K3 would be the same.

I am wondering how to set up the k3 for the Free DV (digital voice) the article
in QST about a way to do digital voice on hf. Has anyone tried it with the k3?
Would one set the k3 to the DATA A position? How does one set the audio on the
computer sound card? I am very new to the digital modes and do not fully
understand what the settings mean. Can someone run through how to set the k3 for
Free DV. I think you also have to set the line out setting in the config menu
and hook up the line in line out cables to the computer. Can one use a regular
computer mic and headphones. I know the Free DV article calls for a USB headset.
I have a headset but not a usb headset. It uses the mic and speaker jacks on the
computer. Will this work as well as the usb headset?
Thank you very much
Eric
