Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sound card hookup HELP!!!
The issue was resolved by turning up the line in (mic) gain and changing a jumper inside the SignaLink USB which was set to it's lowest line out setting. 73, Tom Amateur Radio Operator N5GE ARRL Lifetime Member QCWA Lifetime Member On Tue, 12 Jul 2011 15:33:07 -0400, Rick Johnson w3bi.r...@hotmail.com wrote: How was it resolved?That's what these threads are forinformation. 73,Rick W3BI From: n...@n5ge.com To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2011 13:36:31 -0500 Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sound card hookup HELP!!!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sound card hookup HELP!!!
Tom, I do not know whether the SignaLink is one of those that provide only mic level output, or if it is one that has provisions for Line level out. In any case, it would appear that you are not getting enough audio drive level to the line-in jack of the K3. Can you drive the audio up to the required 4 to 5 bars indicated on the ALC meter? If not, there is not enough audio to the K3. Check the SignaLink documentation to see if there is a jumper that allows line level output. Most default to microphone level, and for line level, you need a signal 50 to 100 times greater than microphone level. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/11/2011 11:00 PM, n...@n5ge.com wrote: I'm setting a SignaLink USB up on my K3 and am having trouble getting it to transmit.

The Signalink USB has an internal jumper for high or low output. 73 Greg AB7R On 7/11/2011 8:37 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: Tom, I do not know whether the SignaLink is one of those that provide only mic level output, or if it is one that has provisions for Line level out.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sound card hookup HELP!!!
Thanks, guys! It was the mic gain and it's working now, but it is a bit low (gain is all the way up), so I'll install the jumper in the SignaLink tomorrow after I play with it a while tonight ;o) Best to all, Tom On Mon, 11 Jul 2011 20:41:53 -0700, Greg a...@cablespeed.com wrote: The Signalink USB has an internal jumper for high or low output. 73 Greg AB7R On 7/11/2011 8:37 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: Tom, I do not know whether the SignaLink is one of those that provide only mic level output, or if it is one that has provisions for Line level out.
