[Elecraft] K3: Recording from LIN OUT

[Lu Romero]

Please add my voice to the requests for a fixed line level
output for the K3.

Currently I do recordings and manage audio feeds to external
devices thusly:

K3 monitor on, 2 speakers selected, speakers off (PF-1
Default)
K3 line out to a Alesis Nano Comp in.  the Nano Comp is set
as a hard limiter to clip at +2 VU for when I turn the AGC
off (it was just sitting there on my bench, so I *HAD* to
use it somewhere!).
Alesis Nano Comp out to a Behringer MiniAmp 800 headphone
mixer Line A in (Line B is my TS570D line out, sort of a
half assed SO2R setup here)
Mixer line out 1 to Yamaha CM500 headset
Mixer line out 2 to soundcard in (on logger computer -
decoder for RTTY/PSK Etc)
Mixer line out 3 to soundcard in (on secondardy computer
running RecAll to record any audio sent thru the rig)
Mixer line out 4 to a Whirlwind audio amp
Amp to JBL Control 1's, left and right, for when I want to
hear things without the headsets on my head, which is
rarely, but then guests like to hear audio...  Im probably
going to get rid of the speaker chain and get something
simpler.

I can select what radio goes to the headsets with the A/B
buttons on the mixer.  I can also roughly "pan" the audio
using the AMP800's pan pots to center the audio in my
headset (I have some hearing loss in my right ear).  When
using the second receiver, I can also adjust levels/strength
of each receiver using the AMP800 pan pots and not the radio
controls.

It works for me, your milage may vary.

I can simultaneously record, run speakers and/or headphones,
record what I send in all modes and adjust levels
seprarately.

Unfortunately, when I have to adjust audio level with the
radio's volume pot(s), all the other levels downstream also
change (line out is controlled by the volume pot)

It certainly would be nice to have a FIXED level out of that
line out jack and be able to adjust levels on the headset
mixer to the individual outputs without having the rig
volume pot interfere.

Hi,

I support the request for a fixed level line out for the TX
audio very much.
I do not find the current options satisfactory.
