Consumer line level is 1V peak, which is the same level used to drive headphones. The headphone output is a low impedance source, so it can easily drive both headphones and a line level input. The only thing missing is an independent level control, which is easy enough to work around. 73, Jim K9YC __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

This would be amazing and a huge help with digital modes.

[Elecraft] KX3: RX audio "Line" out? Feature Request.
One for the KX3 Firmware guru's I think. Looking at the schematic, there might be a way to "uncouple" the Headphone Right and Left levels, and set them indipendantly, while also leaving the speaker amp enabled. That would allow, when a cable is plugged into the "Phones" jack, the Audio DAC "Left" to still run the speaker (level set by the front panel AF gain) while "Right" is used as a fixed level "Line" output at some other (menu set?) level, for external digimode decoders. (However, I've not looked at the data sheet for the TLV320AIC3105 audio codec chip used, yet to see if it could support that, I just suspect it might.) If it could. Howabout that as a feature request? We woudnt need to faff about with 3.5mm jack splitters and an external powered speaker just to still "hear" what's going on, while plugged into an external decoder. Or is there an existing menu feature I've missed that would do that already? And yes, I am aware that many PC's allow you to "listen" to an input, but not all OS's support that on all platforms. Nor do many hardware based digimode devices (TNC's and the like.) If (a big IF) that was to be possible. Storing such settings in a memory along with frequency/mode etc would be fantastic! (A "Line IN" would be nice, but I don't se any other "already connected" ways to do that, though there are plenty of spare inputs to the audio codec chip.) 73.
