Re: [Elecraft] Low Line-In level

I have total of three cables (using two at the time, normally). I didn't make them so I'm not sure if it is shielded or not, cables are with ferrite beads next to the jacks, on both sides of cables. I have used those cables for two years, never experienced any problem. Nothing changed in my setup r

Have you tried replacing the audio cables between the K3 and PC soundcard? You may have an open shield in the cable. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/18/2016 2:14 PM, Dragan 4O4A wrote: I think that PC speakers level is OK. On my headset, on my speakers tone sounds just fine, clean. I tried to ground PC

I think that PC speakers level is OK. On my headset, on my speakers tone sounds just fine, clean. I tried to ground PC - no difference. When connected to MIC input, I tried various BIAS settings. With all three settings (no BIAS, L and H), result is the same except that with High BIAS it needs le

Dragan, Since you have tested 2 computer soundcards with similar results, I suggest you contact Elecraft support for further clues to troubleshooting and resolution. It still sounds to me that the computer speaker level may be too low for some reason. If you can get the normal 5 to 7 bars o

Hi Don, When I connect PC line-out to rear MIC, it is a little bit better. Well, a bit better, I'd say. However, I'm not sure if it works properly. Namely, when I give to K3 a steady tone, say 1500 Hz from PC, ALC is "pulsing" and I cannot adjust it properly (3 or 4 bars + 5th flickering). Tone

Dragan, Does the K3 still respond to microphone input as it did before? If the answer is YES, then I would suspect the soundcard is the source of your problem. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/14/2016 12:48 PM, Dragan 4O4A wrote: I am an occasional user of digital modes. My K3 is conntected to my PCs via

I am an occasional user of digital modes. My K3 is conntected to my PCs via in-line-out cables. Usually, I used PC speakers gain to about 50-75% of max, and Line level on K3 was about 10 or so. ALC used to be 4 bars, with 5th bar flickering, or lower. Recently, I cannot setup line-in level as it
