K3 digital modes using HRD via RigExpert Standard

David F. Reed

Folks,

I am having some trouble getting my K3 to work digital modes running HRD
and DM780 software and a RigExpert Standard as the interface.

I am curious what I might be doing wrong.

As far as sound selection, I am using the USB audio codecs, and it is
receiving fine, (RTTY and MT63), and it will switch to transmit when
requested, but no drive seems to be happening.

I have set the mic sel on the K3 to Line In (back panel), where my audio
from the RigBlaster is going, and tried adjusting the MIC level (affects
Line in in that mode) to no avail.

Any hints?

Thanks and 73 de Dave, W5SV

Dave,

I don't know the answer, but one guess is that the output of the
RigExpert may be pre-set for mic level (reduced to about 1/10 of
soundcard normal output).  The line input of the K3 needs a 'line level'
signal (about the same as soundcard output).

You can try plugging the RigExpert output into the rear mic jack to test
if the level is the cause.
