Digipan freezes K3 configuration

Dave Barr-2
If I open Digipan while my K3 is on, and then activate "configuration"
on the K3, the config menu selection and change action freeze.  The only
thing I need to change is the line out level, but I can't do it while
digipan is running.   Any hints?

Dave, K2YG

Dave,

There is nothing in the soundcard connection that should cause DigiPan
to cause a problem to the K3 when you attempt to change the Line Out level.
That means that you have some other connection between the computer and
the K3 that is causing problems.
To completely respond to your situation, we need to know your complete
setup between the K3 and the computer as well as what the computer is
doing during the process.
For instance, what are the settings for PTT -- KEY in the K3?
Does the same thing happen when you disconnect the RS-232 cable from the K3?
Is Digipan doing something other than just displaying the waterfall?
Is the K3 going into transmit?  In other words, does the red transmit
LED illuminate?
Do you have VOX set on for digital modes?

I could think that any of the above could be the reason for your stated
behavior.
What happens if you remove the Line Out cable from the K3 and attempt to
set the LINE OUT level?
Do you have the computer bonded to the K3 ground with short copper
braid?  You may have some sort of interaction between the computer and
the K3 due to "ground loops".
