I find Don's info to be exactly correct as it applies to the USB connection between the radio and computer.As to the Line IN and Line OUT on the back of the radioI've never used it. With Windows 10, if you wish the Sound Card to show the levels in dB, just right click on the level

Jim, What are the settings for the K3S CODEC in the computer? Look at your soundcard settings and set them to something lower. There is normally no need for an additional control in the K3S other than the normal LINE IN gain settings. The settings for the K3/K3S computer LINE OUT (or SPKR)

Gotta remember that there's no audio here, just numbers that represent audio. Somewhere in the PC there is a setting that instructs a program to set a reference level for the digital signal. It's not at all like running coax from line out jacks. The digital doesn't pick up hum or flat-top. Just

Can't help but wonder, is anyone adjusting the recording and playback in Windows? Mine works fine by adjusting those. I don't do any vhf though. 73 Dwight NS9I On 6/26/2017 7:59 PM, Jim Rogers wrote: Richard - I second your report, there is no fine adjustment for the USB audio on the K3s

Richard - I second your report, there is no fine adjustment for the USB audio on the K3s either in received audio or transmitted audio. When the band is noisy, I have to reduce LIN OUT to 01 or alternatively reduce the overall system gain with the RF gain (which in the case of the K3 and K3s

Hello Elecraft, When feeding the audio from the K3S USB port to the CPU, the K3S audio level is extremely high and way too hot for good performance on many digital modes. Example, even with my CPU's sound card set at the lowest possible level of "01" my K3S is hitting the JT-65
