Re: [Elecraft] K3 settings question
Hi Ian, That was it. That fixed the low volume issue. It was set to 5, which is very low.

Chris, Do you have Tech Mode turned on in your K3's menu?

They both have AF GAIN at HI. I am going to update the firmware and will see if it is related to AGC settings. I am still learning as these two K3's are fairly new to me. Thanks for your info.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 settings question
As I recall, Ten Tec was known for setting their AGC threshold quite low. The result was that owners always commented on how "quiet" their receivers were.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Settings for SignaLink USB
Many thanks to all of those who took the time and trouble to answer. I took the SignaLink apart and re-seated the module. I also re-checked my ALC setting and all the others on the rig. I had come across a very useful document by Jason K8ZT and followed his instructions to the letter. I also found the information by Don W3FPR immensely useful in setting up my ALC etc. All-in-all very helpful and I am now up and running on WSJT-X with no problems. I shall setup my FLDIGI next … Thanks again everyone and very 73, David G4NRT __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Settings for SignaLink USB
David, I think you should check the jumpers in the SignaLink. Also make certain the level controls for the SL soundcard are set correctly in the computer. Or simply use another USB soundcard - the K33 has built-in isolation transformers. Set the K3 LIN OUT level to about 10. You apparently have a problem, but it may not be in the K3. Plug amplified computer speakers into the K3 LINE OUT jack as a test. You should hear the sounds. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/4/2020 4:20 AM, David Bondy wrote: I have been using digital modes for years and have a number of SignaLink USB devices which have all worked very well with a variety of rigs.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Settings for SignaLink USB
I ask “why use a SignaLink with the K3?” The K3 already has buffered Lin In and Line Out. Separate settings for in/out for each mode. The one item to pay attention to is transmit audio level. You should set the power out by using the Per knob on the K3 front panel. Then adjust the audio to show 4 solid bars and flashingbfifth bar on the ALC meter.

My recommended settings for most voices with the CM500 and other "flat" mics is for maximum cut of the three lowest bands (50, 100, 200), 6 dB cut of the 4th (400 Hz), the 7th band (2400 Hz) boosted 3 dB, and the 8th (3200 Hz) boosted 3-6 dB.

An ideal position for the mic is a few inches above and to the side of the mouth. This minimizes breath pops and allows drinking coffee and munching, but is also close enough to minimize room noise. Once that is "right," COMP should be set for indicated 10dB of Compression on the LED display on voice peaks. 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

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Settings
I guess it would be possible to set some (if not all) of the configs on any K3 using a suitable macro. Might be handy in a multi-station K3 contest setup too I guess. 73 Gary ZL2iFB > -Original Message- > From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft- > boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of David F.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Settings
My understanding is this: Unfortunately, no, only that K3. This is because the calibration settings unique to that radio are also part of what is saved / restored. I would love to see such a facility as well. 73 de Dave, W5SV On 3/3/13 3:33 PM, Jay wrote: If I have a K3 on a network with a back up file for Settings, can this file be used with the Utility for another K3 to set it up without having to go through all the menus? __ 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
