[Elecraft] K3 Firmware rev. 4.39: New main/sub AF mixer settings, high-res. S-meter read command, etc.

[W5UXH]

I would also find this useful.  I frequently use the K3 LINE OUT for
recording both sides of a CW QSO and for using the CW sidetone alone to
drive "iCW"  (the AA0HW Internet CW system that works very well for those
without home stations so they still have the capability of running some QRQ
CW).  

When recording qso's, if I adjust MON so the sidetone level going to the
sound card matches the received signal level in LINE OUT, then the sidetone
in my headphones is too loud.  As a result I have to get by with a "weak"
sidetone in the recording.

The settings of course are dependent on the characteristics of the sound
card in use.  With my current sound card, I have to turn the LINE setting
far higher than the default setting of 10 to produce a reasonable level.  My
previous computer had a higher sensitivity sound card so levels were more
reasonable.

If the sidetone level to the LINE OUT could be separately adjusted to match
the received audio level in the LINE OUT path, while the actual sidetone to
the headphonse (or speakers) is still adjusted by MON, it would be very
handy.  No big deal, just one more convience added to the K3.

As it is, the LINE OUT quality in my K3 setup is still far higher than any
previous rigs, none of which even provided the sidetone in the LINE OUT,
only loud thumps.  The K3 LINE OUT is clean as a whistle.
