I knew this was going to turn into why do you need all that audio gear discussion. Never mind. Thanks for your input. I guess i'll just ask Eric or Wayne next Friday at Dayton. __ Slava (Sal) B, W2RMS w2...@arrl.net On May 9, 2014, at 8:23 PM, Jim Brown j...@audiosystemsgroup.com

Hi Don, list! I wanted to ask you if it would be possible to make a cable for the Signalink USB box to connect to the K3's 8-pin front side mic connector? I have the Signalink box that i'm using with my Yaesu 857D but i want to also try it with the K3. The K3's rear line-in is currently taken by

Slava, Certainly that would be possible, but the output of the Signalink would have to be set at mic level rather than line level. I would think it should be easier to simply use a Y adapter on the Line In of the K3. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/9/2014 8:36 AM, Slava Baytalskiy wrote: Hi Don,

I have the SL-USB and the Tigertronics cable set and jumper block for the K2. When I acquired the K3 I considered using the front mic connection with the K3. I concluded the K2 cable and block would work with the K3. Never tested it because I ended up using the rear connections for the

Slava, If you are using a microphone input for data modes, adjusting the mic gain input for the data mode interface will affect the mic gain with your microphone. You will probably find this annoying. The usual arrangement is to configure voice modes to use the front- or rear-panel

By my audio stuff i mean a mic. I'm using a Shure SM58, into a mic preamp, into a gate/compressor/limiter/de-esser into an EQ into a mixer into the K3's line-in. So line-in is taken. I can't put a Y cable there because, correct me if i'm wrong, every time Signalink would key up - the mic would

You wouldn't use a Y-cable. Why not an input on your mixer? Then use whatever control is convenient in your pile of outboard gear to kill the mic when running digital modes. Or pad the mic level back down use K3 mic input. Another topic is why use the outboard gear at all? Gate limiter
