[Elecraft] Re: K3 Audio

[Alexandr Kobranov]

I can confirm cca 20dB lower level of 3rd harmonics on front panel 
phones output against rear panel line out. Main versus 3rd harmonics 
is 50dB resp. 7OdB on line-out resp. phones output here.
Just tried with on-board sound card od my Dell workstation.
(using Spectran SW and output level adjusted for the same peak out 
level on Spectran screen).
Maybe later will try with Firebox sound card which has better parameters.
