K3 line question

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM-2]

Hello

 

I think I must setup MIC for LINE no more than 12 for RTTY, right?

 

I cannot TX with this setting, my K3 started transmitting with line = 22

 

Is that a problem? I see 6 full bars in ALC

 

New on RTTY and don´t want to have a bad signal, will try to make some QSO´s
this weekend

 

73,

Jorge

Jorge,

The soundcard output level and the K3 LINE IN level work "hand in hand".
I would increase the soundcard line out level in your computer and
decrease the K3 LINE setting.
6 bars is too much for data modes - strive for 4 bars with the 5th bar
flickering.
If you are increasing  the mic gain in order to get VOX to trip, you do
not have your VOX gain set high enough.

Thanks Don

Was the VOX very low, at 5. Now I have VOX GAIN in 15 and K3 LINE in 5 and I
have 4-5 bars in ALC

Thanks!
Jorge
