[Elecraft] [K3] Sound card suggestions - TASCAM 366

[Robert Nobis]

A few weeks ago, my wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said a TASCAM 122 USB Interface.  Instead I received a TASCAM 366. She checked on line and the 122 was listed as discontinued and replaced by the 366, so she ordered the 366.

So now I have a TASCAM 366, which has significantly more capability that I really need. Anyway I will try to use it with my K3 for JT65 and JT9 operation. I am wondering, however, if anyone on this reflector has any experience with the 366 and could provide some hints for proper setup and operation.

Thanks and Merry Christmas.

73,

I have the line level cranked all the way up to 100, but the input level on DM780 (Ham Radio Deluxe) shows an input level of about 29. I'd expect more signal than this. If I run the signal from the K3 line output into the mic input on the 125M I can easily overload the 125M.

I have it connected to my 27” iMac and use it for PSK31, JT65, JT9, and an occasional RTTY QSO. No jumpers to fiddle with, no special cables - simple cables with RCA connectors. Couldn’t be happier with it. The TASCAM units are also recommended on the K9AY web pages.
