[Elecraft] (Elecraft K3) KDVR
Re-the current thread on using the KDVR for checking transmitted audio: When using SSB I like to monitor my audio sidetone in my phones, probably because, like most hams, I like the sound of my own voice! I recognise that this may not be a true reproduction of the outgoing signal, but it does give me an idea of the level of residual back ground noise from fans, dog barking, wife yelling at me to get and do something useful and so on. That way I can make adjustments to the mike gain and compressor gain if neccessary. The trouble is that the K3 produces a slight processing delay between my speech and the sidetone, which I find most disconcerting. I usually end up using my old TS-850 for 'phone instead of the K3 because of this. I've mentioned this before and I believe a modification may be on Lyle's list, (somewhere near the bottom). 73 Tom G3OLB __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Tom, try these steps. 1. With dog and wife away, and fans off, see how you sound, adjust as necessary. This is your baseline. 2. Dog barks, put outside 3. Wife yells, see #2. 4. After front door slams, followed by ominous silence, go outside to retreive all your belongings from the front garden. 5. Bang fist futilely on door for readmittance, and be alert to catch the rigs as they come through the window. Seriously, set it once and forget it. Extraneous noise is not best dealt with by fiddling with the mic settings. 73, Mike NF4L Tom Boucher wrote: Re-the current thread on using the KDVR for checking transmitted audio: When using SSB I like to monitor my audio sidetone in my phones, probably because, like most hams, I like the sound of my own voice!

Re: [Elecraft] (Elecraft K3) KDVR
Hi Tom, Why don't you use the TS850 to listen to yourself transmitting on the K3 off-air? This way you are hearing a true reproduction of how you sound with no monitor circuit delay. Of course, this is only useful to initially set up your TX audio - not for use whilst operating. Once you set your TX adjustments, you really shouldn't have to change the settings, unless, of course, you are continually changing microphones, operators, etc. Just an idea.
