[Elecraft] PSK 31

[hb9ari]

Ron,

Serial connection is used for K3 control.
You should connect the "LINE-OUT" at the
rear of the K3 to the Line or Mic inp
of your Sound Card (internal or external);
this is the audio path for receiving PSK31;
you should connect the Line-out or Spkr out
of the the above sound card to the "IN-LINE"
connector at the rear of the K3; this is the path
for audio when you transmit PSK31; i've not
my K3 User Manual by me, but you can find
how to select the correct mode for the K3's
"IN-LINE-OUT" connector usage.
You should also adjust the RX/TX
audio levels and find the best compromise
between K3 and Sound Card levels settings.
As you have worked before with PSK31,
i'm sure you will be able to find the best
settings with the K3.
