[Elecraft] K3 - Can't seem to make LINE-OUT work properly

[Bill VanAlstyne W5WVO]

Dan,

It doesn't look like anybody else has responded to your last query on this 
thread, so I will.

The reason MIC+LIN says N/A is because you are have selected LINE IN as your 
MIC SEL input for DATA mode. The mic input is therefore not used, and 
combining the two inputs is not applicable.

But this wouldn't have anything to do with your LIN OUT problem anyway.

I would call Elecraft tech support and see if they can think of any other 
reason for not being able to get the NOR output to work correctly. As you 
describe it, I can think of no explanation for this other than a defective 
board.
