[Elecraft] K3 and the digital modes

[Lynn Lamb, W4NL]

Thanks,

For the many who responded to my question on hook-up for the K3 using the 
digital modes, THANKS.

It works with MixW using the two cables from the in/out of the K3 to the 
mic/speaker on the computer along with a serial cable for rig control.  Once 
I figured out that 'line in' had a gain control automatically selected when 
'main/mic sel' was in the 'line in' position!  It's where we normally adjust 
the mic gain control.   Neat.

I placed this in PF-1 memory which makes it easily to select when moving 
back and forth from digital to CW/SSB.  And using the K3 at about 2.5 watts 
into a THP SS amp at 10/12 watts on the digital modes, everything runs very 
cool.

It's a learning process but with good help here on the reflector, it was 
possible and again thanks for the thoughtful help.

Side bar:  The dual PB feature for CW is great and thanks to Ralph, K1ZZI/4 
for calling that to my attention.  I still can't believe all the goodies 
this rig has.
