[Elecraft] Line out

[Richard Ferch]

Larry,

There are two configuration options that interact with this:

1. If CONFIG:SPKRS is set to 2, then the internal speaker will only play 
the left channel (main RX). To get both channels in the internal 
speaker, you need to set this option to 1; but if you do this, the 
external speaker jack will also supply combined mono audio to the left 
channel only.

2. If CONFIG:SPKR+PH is set to YES and CONFIG:SPKRS is set to 1, you 
will only get sound in the left channel of the headphones. If you set 
this option to NO, the headphones will not be affected by the choice of 
SPKRS (1 or 2), but when you plug headphones in to either headphone 
jack, the speaker outputs (internal and external) will be muted.

3. The LINE OUT jack is unaffected by the above, or by the AF gain controls.

4. My experience has been that there is some variability among 3.5 mm 
(1/8-in) phone connectors; some combinations of plugs and jacks do not 
always seem to make reliable contact. If you are only getting output 
from the right channel, it sounds as if perhaps the plug is not pushed 
all the way into the LINE IN jack.

other day someone posted a note about Config:spkrs:2 for turning off the 
speakers.  Yep because of my hearing going down hill i run the K3 that 
way.  However, in that configuration only the SUB rx is disabled from 
the speaker and not the main rx.  Now when i've got the headpbnes on, i 
can hear both rx in there but again, the main rx is still on the 
speaker.  Along the same lines, when i listen to JT-65 or WSPR or any of 
the digital modes i have to use the Aux rx as i never have gotten any 
audio from the main rx thru the "line out" jack.  I wouldn't think that 
is normal.  It's been this way ever since i bought the radio this past 
July and i've only done one upgrade software wise.  WHY?  With all the 
complaints i have read about i decided i wasn't going to do any software 
changes until things settled down.  Anyone have any ideas as to why the 
audio as i've described above is doing what it's doing?  It's not kil
  ling me other than curiosity wise and the idea that i'd like to have 
it working right.
