DATA A mode audio inputs

[Bill VanAlstyne W5WVO]

This question may have been asked and answered earlier, but I can't find it. When using DATA A for audio sound card modes and selecting the rear-panel line-in and line-out jacks, is the audio from the mic (both front and rear panel) disconnected, such that the only audio coming into the transmitter is from the line jack? I have an email from TigerTronics saying they believe it is not disconnected, thus allowing random mic inputs to mix with the sound card audio coming in through the Line connection. I would like to disabuse them of this belief if possible.

Currently, if you select FP mic or RP mic or LINE IN, that is the only
active Tx audio input.  The two not currently selected are not used, and
do not mix.

We will have an update that allows LINE In + either of the mic inputs,
but it is not released yet.

what would be the benefit of such a setting?
(up to now I always had a problem with transceiver who did this)

Hallo Werner,

for example my laptop only has a single LINE IN input, which is not  
suitable for microphones. I want to continue using my present headset  
and also use the voice keyer (with PTT control) in my contest logging  
software, meaning I need two "simultaneous" AF inputs in the rig, e.g.  
LINE IN and Microphone FP.

Personally I am really, really waiting for this. As nice as the DV  
hardware from Elecraft will be, and I have it on back order, I still  
want to optionally be able to use an external voice keyer.

vy 73 de toby

This has been requested by many of our customers. It allows the use of
"Voice Keyer" software running on a PC, for example, to save your voice
calling by CQ for you during a contest, yet still allows you to speak
into the microphone.  Or it might allow you play back to the other
station a recording of his off-the-air signal.  There are many
possibilities for using this feature.

The one thing that seems not to have been explicitly stated is that the
Line-In-Only configuration will still be an option after the Line-In+Mic
option is added. Please confirm that this is a feature ADDITION, not a feature
CHANGE.

Let me be clear:

The K3 currently allows you to use Front Panel Mic *or* Rear Panel Mic
*or* Line In.

What we will be adding is an *additional* selection: Mic + Line In.  The
Mic will be the one you currently have selected (Front or Rear).  It
will *not* replace the existing selections, it will simply add
additional capability for those who wish to use it.

Lyle
