[Elecraft] K3 SSB & Data - No Output, Need suggestions

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

Your last post indicated that you were using a SignalLink to drive the 
K3.  The transmit audio level from the Signallink is attenuated for 
driving a microphone input - if you are using the K3 Line Input, there 
may not be adequate drive. 

The K3 Line Input level expects a level that is available from a normal 
soundcard Line  Out.  The SignalLink provides Mic Level output which is 
a much lower level.

Try plugging the Signallink into the rear mic input (set the K3 Mic sel 
accordingly), and see if you can obtain good transmit audio.  If so, 
then your Signallink audio level must be increased to allow use of the 
Line Input on the K3.

The SignalLink website has some information about increasing the output 
level.

73,
Don W3FPR
