Subject: K3 - Can't seem to make LINE-OUT work properly


Hi Chaps,

Fairly new K3 owner here - just getting set up for digimodes.  I'm probably doing something stupid but...

I can't seem to make line-out do what it should.  I have visited "lin out" in the Config menu and set a value (10) rather than =phones and yet the level on the line-out jack is still dependent on the front panel AF Gain control.

Any ideas what I've missed?

Wayne, et al,
  I'm using 3.44, and experiencing odd results on direct freq entry from the
keypad, all when using the decimal point, e.g.:
1)  entering 21225.5 gives 21225.0.  In general, all such are rounded off to
the whole kHz.
2)  entering 7025.5 gives 25500.00!!
3)  entering 21226 works ok.  If I then enter 28425.5, it goes again to
21226.
  This is very strange.

Andy,

Direct entry has one KHz resolution.  The decimal point should be
after the MHz.

18330 KHz = 1.833
7025.5 = 7.025 (entering 7025.5 on K3 #806 puts 7.025 on VFOA.

To my knowledge it has always been that way.

Well, maybe that's just something I never noticed.  That would explain why
7025.5 becomes 25500 (i.e., the radio assumes the mHz are 25, not 7.
  But it seems peculiar to me, particularly because under software control
you can use decimal points.  For example, if I send the radio 7025.345 from
my logging program, it does take the radio to that exact  frequency.

Yeah, but the logging program knows what format the K3 wants, and converts it.
