[Elecraft] LINE OUT output too low?

[André Santos]

Hello everyone! Greetings from northeast of Brazil!

I think this topic has somehow been discussed before but it was not
conclusive. Forgive-me in case I´m wrong.
While trying to make audio recordings using the K3 line level output and my
Marantz PMD620 handheld audio recorder (
http://www.d-mpro.eu.com/index2.php?CID=3&Pid=139&action=detail&lang=eng) I
found out that the output level of the/my K3 (#1164) is not high enough to
make a good recording, no matter I turn the CONFIG LINE OUT to 100%.

I´ve used the same Marantz recorder many times, plugged in others
receivers/transceivers, and most of the times I´ve to attenuate the input
level to avoid overload and distortion.

Is something wrong with my K3? Can the AF stage upgrade help me with that?
According to the K3 project, what is the nominal line level output of the
K3?

Thanks in advance.
