K3 and RemoteRig

How can you adjust (or mute) the local audio on the controlled K3 while using the K3 Mini through the Remote Rig boxes? I have found that the remote K3 Mini will change the controlled K3 audio with its volume control but the level is too loud locally.
I have a controlled K3 in my shack that I use when home that is connected to a RemoteRig box - I want to mute the local audio when using the K3 Mini while away so I don't disturb (frighten) my family.
Thanks for any help!

Re: K3 and RemoteRig

Ancillary question... Has anybody figured out how to use, at the local end, sound card digital modes? I want to run MixW or other sound card programs, and have Olivia or MFSK on USB coming out at the controlled (remote) K3 end. Can it be done? What is the cabling and interface required?

Tnx de Brian W3BW

Edd,

plugin the Remoterig connection cables into the speaker port on the K3's
backside as described in the K3 Remote manual. ;-)

Sure. No interface needed (the internet is a perfect isolator, no pin 1
problem there ;-)). Like one could assume just plug in your audio cables
into the speaker and mic jacks at the mini's left side, plug in PTT on
the mini's backside and switch the radio to DATA A and do your digital
QSOs. Works like a charm.

Edd:

I don’t believe anyone has yet responded to your query. I’m not home yet from Hamvention, so I’m not in front of either my K3 (in Georgia) or my K3/Mini (in Massachusetts) to verify settings. Here are some things to check based upon memory…

I presume you have your “remote” (station) powered speakers attached to the “speaker out” jack in the back of the K3. You have several options:

1. Power off the speakers before you leave the shack. My speakers have a power switch.

2. Assuming that you forgot to turn off your speakers and you want to turn off audio remotely, using the K3 Mini go into menu options and see if you have “SP + PH” (speakers and phone jack) turned on. If so, select “PH”. That will turn off audio from going to the speakers at the remote (station) site. This will not impact either the internal speakers of the K3/Mini or the external speaker connection of the K3/Mini.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Barry! I think that #2 probably should do it - I'll give it a try.
