[Elecraft] line in and out/ Microham problem SOLVED

[Don Wilhelm]

The line-in, line-out labeling situation is common to many devices in 
the audio world, especially Pro-Audio.  One needs to connect the 
line-out of a driving device to the line-in of another device.  To 
extend the thinking (although we we not commonly use this designation), 
we connect the 'microphone out' signal from a microphone to the 
'microphone in' jack on a transceiver.  Extend that thought to the 
line-in and line-out designations and you should be correct.  I am not 
certain how the Microham cables are labeled, but the labeling on the K3 
is like the 'standard' for the rest of the audio device industry.
