K3 and N1MM setup problem (Operator Error I suspect)

[Tony McClenny]

Please help me if you have time.

 

I have a K3 with the digital voice recorder (DVR) and wish to use voice
files from N1MM this weekend in the Delaware QSO Party.  I would prefer to
use N1MM for the voice files and not the K3 DVR.  The voice files were
previously used with my Kenwood TS-570D and a RigBlaster Pro interface.  

 

I have the K3 connected to my computer via RS-232 cable for rig control
(works fine DX4Win logging and N1MM).  I have two audio cables from the K3
to the computer sound card, which work fine for rtty, PSK, etc.  K3 PTT-KEY
is set to rts-dtr.

 

When I click on the N1MM function key to transmit a voice file, the rig goes
into transmit mode BUT the voice file is not transmitted or if it is, I
cannot hear it in my headphones or via K3 speaker.  The RF meter on the K3
does not indicate any outgoing power.  

 

Can you determine from this information what I am missing?  Thank you for
your consideration.

Tony,

Do you have the main menu for MIC+LIN to ON?
Have you set the Line IN gain for those voice files?
See the  menu listing on page 52 of the manual to understand how to set
the Line IN gain.

You do not state where these two cables go.  When I use my K3 with
the N1MM logger DVR, all I need is one audio cable.  I connect my
microphone to the microphone input on my computer and the speaker out
from the computer to the line in on the K3.  I set the mic input on
the K3 to line in.  I can record and play back messages using the F
keys, as well as use VOX (or PTT if you prefer) for talking live.
