[Elecraft] K3: PSK31 Settings

[eric at hollywoodtitle.com]

Hi Joe;

As it turns out I have the exact set-up you do - an EMU 0202 USB external and a K3.

When I follow the directions for setting levels on a K3 here are the numbers I get:

Soundcard Wave level in Windows XP: 22 (of 100)
Line level on K3: 9-10 (of 60

This usually gives me three solid bars and two more flickering on the K3.

I have wondered if having such a hot line level is hurting me at all. Ideally I would like to see the K3's line level near 30 - or half way.
But when I do that the Wave level in Windows cannot be st low enough. Make me think I need some line attenuation.

HTH

I would appreciate some help with setting up the K3 for PSK. I am not clear as to what settings to use or just how to get them set. There appear to be three issues of concern.1. K3 Line-In2. Sound card output level3. KL3 ALC I have set the K3 Line-in at 15. I am using a E-MU 0202/USB external sound card. I'm not sure how to set the output level ... And so far I haven't found a way to adjust the ALC to 4 bars in the Data A mode. I must be missing a step somewhere. I've searched the various "threads" but have yet to get it all sorted out.Please reply via w5asp at yahoo.com ThanksJoe W5ASPJoe, W5ASP ______________________________________________________________Elecraft mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraftHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:Elecraft at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
