K3 Transmit thru Line-In

Bud Governale, W3LL
I can't get any transmit audio via the Line-In connector.

Connecting the Mic cable to the rear panel MIC connection produces good transmit power and audio.

I know audio is coming from the sound card output because it also drives the computer speaker via its line in
connection.

I tried moving the Mic connector from the rear panel MIC to the Line-In rear panel position. This still would not
produce K3 SSB output.

Moving the Line-In connector to the MIC rear panel connector produces good transmit power and audio.

The TX lights each time but no output via Line-In
The K3 is in LSB mode.
TX TEST is in normal.
MIC SEL is RPH
MIC + LIN is ON.
MIC Gain is 30
Comp is 22.

Why can't I transmit thru the Line-In connection?

73,

Did you set the Line In gain control to a value >0?

Bud,

I suspect your Line In level control may be set to zero. This cannot be
adjusted while MIC+LIN is on. In order to adjust the Line In level, you have
to set MAIN:MIC SEL to LINE IN. Then adjust the LINE IN level using the MIC
control. After the Line In level is set to an appropriate level, you can
then set your MAIN:MIC SEL back to RPH and turn MIC+LIN back ON. See the
page in the manual on the Main menu functions (p. 52).

Dont bother with the line in unless you plan to use DATA mode.  The jack doesn't seem to activate unless you're in the data mode.  Or at least that's what I've found.  Turn your gain back up, switch to data mode, then put the VOX on, and try again.  I think that you'll find it works just fine.

That doesn't sound right, Michael.
I'm using N1MM Logger in my laptop for
SSB contests so I can use the voice keying
feature.   I have the laptop output going into
the Line In jack on the K3 rear panel.  Has
been working just fine for me.  I do have
the VOX selected for keying the radio when
voice comes from the laptop.

Huh?  Line in works just fine for voice modes, as it's supposed to.  
You just have to select it and turn up the gain.

Hi Mike:

LINE-IN with or without VOX works fine here in DATA mode or SSB. But the
level settings are not the same between AFSK in DATA (from MixW) and voice
in SSB (from WriteLog).
