[Elecraft] K3 interface to Signalink USB question

[Don Wilhelm]

Slava,

Yes, you should be able to use the front mic jack.  Set the SignaLink 
for mic level output rather than line level (see the SignaLink 
documentation).  Turn bias off for the front mic.

It is feasible that you could feed the SignaLink into your audio rack, 
but it should not run through any of the conditioning mechanisms.  If 
you do that, you would want to kill all other inputs to your audio rack 
and just run the SignaLink 'straight through' to the Line In on the K3.  
Whether that is possible or not depends on the capabilities of your mixer.

73,
Don W3FPR
