Re: [Elecraft] K3 LINE IN Level Adjustment
Based on your recommendations I did reduce the output of the sound card at the PC. It was at 100 and now is at 50. This does provide for an easier adjustment on the RTTY signal. My K3 Line In levels are now 9 for RTTY and 20 for SSB from the WriteLog voice keyer. As Lyle indicated, there is no memory for Line In level per mode so I'll just have to remember to change the K3 level when I switch modes. Alternately I could change the sound card levels when I switch modes. 73, Mike K2MK Mike K2MK wrote: > > When I operate RTTY I find a LINE IN level of 3 gives me 4 ALC bars.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 LINE IN Level Adjustment
I find that when my PC's line out is set to 50 percent, and line in on K3 is set to about 8 or 9, I get 4-5 bars ALC.

The condition you describe suggests that the sound card output level is too high for RTTY, which, depending on the sound card, could increase distortion. If I were you, I would reduce the output drive of the sound card by 3-6 dB. That should be done with the playback volume controls for the sound card. That said, It would be very nice if the K3 firmware could remember different settings for SSB and digital modes. 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
Re: [Elecraft] K3 LINE IN Level Adjustment
Line In is not saved by mode, so it is operating as designed. 73, Lyle KK7P > ...When I switch between voice and DATA modes > the level stays where it was last set. __ 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
