[Elecraft] Fw: K3 Tx Eq question

[Richard Fjeld]

Thanks to those who responded.  (Now a Data Mode question)

It was too late to find someone to send DSSTV to, but I did some testing. I had a LSB qso, and I switched back and forth between LSB and Data mode set for LSB.  He could not tell a difference, (though there had to be one, or else my Tx Eq settings are in vain).

Then, I tried DSSTV and switched between the modes and I could see that Data mode was turning off my Rx Eq in the waterfall, and also CMP on transmit.  BUT, I noticed that it took a LOT higher Tx level from the sound card mixer when I was in Data mode than it does in SSB mode to get the same power out.  I'm wondering why that is???   Any thoughts?

It would be nice to be able to use Data mode without changing the Eq settings. FYI, QuickMix software is handy to save the sound card Rx & Tx settings from various programs such as when switching from PSK31 to SSTV, etc.  It allows quick changes.

I guess I was tired when I wrote this.  My question should simply be; Does the Tx Eq act upon audio from the Line-In jack.  I now suspect so, but would like to verify it.

It has been suggested that I use Data A mode, and the Eq settings will not be used.
