[Elecraft] HRD and K3

[Larry Snyder]

Thank you for your reply Matt.

I changed the MIC to the back mono mic input and the HRD works fine.

Now getting back to the Line In

On the radio in the middle of the right side of the display I see TX DATA

I set the DATA mode to DATA A

I transmit and adjusted the MIC GAIN and see the DATA level increase on the
LCD

And bingo, it works just fine.

Thank you so very much!!

Sincerely

Larry

Problem areas to look for -

1. The K3 mode should be TX DATA (seen on the graphic), and its data mode
should be DATA A.  DATA A is used to interface external sound to the K3
through line in and out jacks.

2. Line in and out need to go to the sound unit you intend to use on the PC.
MIC SEL at the K3 should be set to Line In.

3. HRD needs to be configured to use the sound unit above.

Once you've juggled these around to get *some power* out of the K3 on TX,
then you should set the K3's LIne In gain (via the MIC control while in TX
to a reasonable level).  For the K3, use the ALC metering to set 4-5 bars of
ALC indicated.  This is the correct drive level to use.

You may need to adjust both the K3's Line In gain AND the sound unit's
Playback level to get a happy medium.  Once you've got it, write it down in
case something gets moved around.
