Hi Don - I'm going from the soundcard (it's USB) out to the K3 line-in. And last time I used it it worked fine, PSK doesn't xmit either.
No interface, just the soundcard. I can't get any alc reading, the rig doesn't go into xmit. By "audio drive" I take it you mean then "Mic" knob. My line-in level is 23. I get an alc reading in SSB, but not data. If I plug fones into the sound card, it is making the tones. I don't see a Line-in menu setting. There is a MIC SEL that's set to Line-In. 73, Mike NF4L On 7/8/2011 6:50 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > Mike, > > We need more information - there are a lot of possibilities. > > It sounds like you do not have enough audio drive to the K3. > > How have you connected to the K3? > Are you connecting to the K3 Line-in from the soundcard Line-out? > Are you using an interface box or just a soundcard? > If you are using an interface box, have you configured it for line level > output - > most come configured for microphone level which is a much lower AF voltage > than > line level. > > You must drive the audio to the K3 sufficiently high to produce 4 bars on the > ALC > meter with the 5th bar flashing.
