[Elecraft] K3 Sound card hookup HELP!!!

[Don Wilhelm]

  Tom,

I do not know whether the SignaLink is one of those that provide only 
mic level output, or if it is one that has provisions for Line level out.

In any case, it would appear that you are not getting enough audio drive 
level to the line-in jack of the K3.  Can you drive the audio up to the 
required 4 to 5 bars indicated on the ALC meter?  If not, there is not 
enough audio to the K3.

Check the SignaLink documentation to see if there is a jumper that 
allows line level output.  Most default to microphone level, and for 
line level, you need a signal 50 to 100 times greater than microphone level.

73,
