AB7R commented: "Although you can have both mics connected at the same time, you do need to use the menu entry for MIC SRC to select the mic you want to use, or to select Line IN."
The description of the MIC SEL menu setting indicates you must choose one audio source. I would hope provision can be made in the K3 to simultaneously enable Line IN and one of the mic inputs. This allows driving Line IN with a DVK and using front panel mic connector for spoken audio during ssb contesting, hopefully with independent gain settings. On the Orion, contesting software optionally mutes the mic input during DVK'ing (via software, turns mic gain to 0 during DVK'ing and then restores mic gain after DVK'ing). 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
