[Elecraft] Using K3 with HRD

[Richard Ferch]

The PC speaker is connected to the PC's internal sound card. For data 
modes you said you are using the USB codec in the KIO3B, which is not 
connected to the PC speaker. Try using a speaker connected to the K3's 
SPKR output (or the internal speaker) to monitor the audio instead.

You can adjust the volume of received sounds using the AF control; it 
shouldn't have any effect on the audio level in the codec (that should 
be controlled by CONFIG:LIN OUT). You can also adjust the level of 
monitored transmitted sounds using the K3's MON control, again without 
impact on the actual transmit audio level (4-5 bars on the AGC meter, 
adjusted using the LINE IN gain control).
