[Elecraft] Line out audio

[Larry Godek]

"There is a Line Out level adjustment in the K3 configuration menu. Set it to 
"NOR" mode (fixed-level output, does not change with AF Gain control) and 
set the output level to about 7 (pretty low). This avoids distortion caused 
by too hot an output level into the sound card."

The previous was sent the other day thru the reflector to the list and i appended it for this message.

The crux of my question, which is still unanswered is "why does the Main rec AF gain control affect the line out jack level when i've verified that in the config menu it is set to normal and the adjustment in the config: line out menu item only adjusts the Sub rec audio output.  That is NOT the way it's supposed to be.  It's almost like something is X-d up before the line out adjustment.
