Another K3-SignaLink question

[Edward F. Steinfeld]

I have just connected my SignaLink to the K3 using SignaLink supplied K3
cables. I find the Line Out amplitude varies according to where I have the
AF control set. I would have thought that Line Out was a constant signal
level. Without setting the AF level quite high I do not get good PSK
reception. At those levels it is too loud for my ham shack (and my wife).
What I have I set wrong?

Ed,

See page 20 of the K3 manual, in the Line Out setting. You can set the Line
Out level in Config, or it can be set to =PHONES, which is what it sounds
like you have it set to.

Thanks for asking and answering this question.  This was on my list of
things to figure out.

I think we all have such a list, Tom. It just
takes a while to work through it. K3/KX3 are very
complex and flexible rigs!

Thank you.  I have been using EasyPal (14.233) for the "new digital SSTV"
and have signals where I just don't receive quite enough signal to sync up
and receive the picture.  This may help me a lot.
Thanks, 73, Jim KG0KP

I asked the original question about LIN OUT levels varying with AF setting.
Here is what is configured:
LIN OUT   nor 010
AF GAIN   HI
SPHR+PH   no
SPKRS   1

The sudio level from LIN OUT still varies with the AF setting. What else can
or should I change?
