Audio mute while sending from sound card

Scenario: Contest setup, going from voice to WSJT
While sound card audio comes in from the sound card, is it possible to
automatically prevent microphone audio ?
Looking for a bullet proof way to move gracefully from SSB mode to WSJT
mode.
Thanks,
Phil K3TUF

Switch from USB to DATA A - use rP.h/l or fP.h/l for mic input
and Line In for data.

Re: Audio mute while sending from sound card

I think there is also a Mic+Line option in one of the menus (I don't
remember if it is the main or config) that may need to be set to OFF

Hi Joe!
I was under the impression that you had to switch to LineIn mic input to be able to use the LineIn. Regardless of what is connected to it: actual mic audio or sound card.
Am i wrong? That's how i've been using my Signalink anyway...

The K3 has three external audio inputs: the front panel microphone jack,
the rear panel microphone jack, and the rear panel Line In jack. You can
use configuration settings to select among microphone input only (line
input muted), line input only (microphone inputs muted), or both
microphone and line inputs live at all times. Since the desired settings
are likely to be different between voice modes and data modes, the K3
remembers these settings separately in voice modes (SSB, AM, FM) vs.
audio-based data modes (DATA A, AFSK A).

In data modes, you would normally set MAIN:MIC SEL to LINE IN. When you
do this MAIN:MIC+LIN is automatically turned off (the display shows NOT
APPL). The microphone input is not live, i.e. you don't have to worry
about it when LINE IN is selected. You connect the sound card or other
interface to the rear panel Line In jack.

In voice modes, you would normally set MAIN:MIC SEL to fP or rP
depending on where your microphone is connected. If you are not using an
external voice keyer, you would set MAIN:MIC+LIN to OFF. If you are
using an external voice keyer connected to Line In, you would set
MAIN:MIC+LIN to ON, in which case the microphone and line inputs are
both live. This allows you to switch back and forth at will between the
voice keyer and microphone input, which is OK for voice modes using a
voice keyer to supplement live voice input, but not OK for digital
modes. If you insist on putting the radio in USB mode to operate digital
modes, you will be faced with a requirement for muting the microphone
during data transmissions.

This is just one among several reasons why it is recommended to use DATA
A mode in preference to USB mode when you are operating in digital modes.

The last sentence above is key. I didn't notice it in the manual
and set MIC+LINE to ON, which was far from ideal. Someone on
this list asked, "Why are you doing that!", I changed it, and
life became much better.

Perhaps a table in the manual of which settings are remembered
by mode would help.

Re: Audio mute while sending from sound card

I just looked in my K3 and this is what i have:

i'm using a Signalink USB box for DATA A mode and i set the MIC to be LineIn.
The MIC+LIN option in that case displays Not Applicable.
When i switch to USB - the Mic input is switched to whatever i had it set to (rP.L in my case).
So it does remember Mic Input setting by Mode which is great, because i thought i'm gonna have to set it manually every time i wanna do PSK31.
Awesome!

Hi Bill,

No financial interest but one of the best bargains and accessories
for a K3 owner is the KE7X book. What you want is in Appendix C. Has a chart
of "PER'S"; band, mode, ant, RX & VFO.
