K3 line out

[WD6DBM]

Dear Jim:

Something is screwy.  I run the same sound card, but usually run around level 10 on the k3 to put the input in the middle of the Tascam input level knob range. 

Make sure you are using the right input jack on the Tascam, and the line out on the k3.

When I used an internal sound card on a laptop with a too-sensitive mic input, I used a cheap Radio Shack headphone cable with an inline volume control.  I ran that on EME for years and it worked like a charm. 

73,

Jim,

A shot in the dark here but, is it possible you have line out set to "Phones" ?

"Note: Normally, LIN OUT sets a fixed-level receive-only output for main/sub (L/R), compatible with digital modes. Tapping    switches LIN OUT to =PHONES, where the line outputs match headphone audio, audio level is controlled by AF/SUB gain controls, and both RX and TX audio are available."
