I usually run the line out level around 20. If you need it to be less

The short answer is the warnings do not apply to Line Out.
Line Out is always stereo but both right and left are transformer
coupled (you don't need the Rascal) and the primaries of both
transformers contain resistors that would limit current from the

It is by design. Line out is Left for main Rx and Right for Sub Rx.

Yes, if you're not trying to copy both signals at the same time (e.g.,
split RTTY DX), you can use MMTTY's ability to select Left or Right
to select Main/Sub without running two copies.

You will not hurt the K3, but if the transformers saturate, you will get
