K3, noise from com cable on SSB?

Mike Smith VE9AA
A new to me low SN# K3..no problems on CW.  Noise blanker now works!

 

I "think" all the SSB settings are ok.

I run SO2R with a YCCC SO2R+ box, so audio gets routed through a laptop,
then out to the so2r box, then to one of 2 rigs.

 

When on SSB I hear a moderately loud feedback-ISB noise w/ an added pulsing
noise in my earphones (monitor) (and also outgoing on the air).

It's probably equal to about 25w or 25% of my outgoing sound.  No good.

 

I initially thought it was my cheapie antique unshielded FTDI based serial
to USB adapter, as it had LED's which flashed to the exact pulse I was
hearing, so I replaced it with a brand new FTDI based cable.

 

Same sound.

 

If I plug a mic directly into the radio, no problems.

 

Another radio on my same (SO2R) setup has no noise on the audio, so do I
have something not set right in the rig, or what's going on with my com
port?

 

Thanks for any insight.

Audio via USB for the K3S?

Ken Arck
I can't seem to find anything in the manual about this but I presume
there is some driver needed to use the USP port for audio as well as CAT/PTT?

Well if you look at the sound devices you should see a USB CODEK as a record/playback device. That's it.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

As I already had the USB Codecs installed for a Yaesu radio, I
thought maybe there were different ones for the K3. I'll do some
playing, thanks

Well.. PTT is working fine as is the CODEC from radio to computer (in
my case, WSJT). But for the life of me, I cannot get anything but
digital noise from computer to radio.

I'm not exactly a neophyte here but I cannot get this to work (and
yes, I've selected the USB Speaker CODEC for driving the radio)

Win 10 on a 64 bit, 3.5 gHz machine....

[RESOLVED] Audio via USB for the K3S?

Ken Arck
In reply to this post by Nr4c
Well..it seems the only way for the USB audio from computer > radio
to work is for radio to be in DATA mode.....Duh......

Thanks to all who responded

You definitely do NOT need to be in data mode.  I've never switched to data
and do PSK31 every day on a K3S.

"LINE" level set high enough (mine is around 10-13)
"MIC SEL" set to LINE IN.
You'll also need to make sure the USB Codec sound input/output levels are
set on your computer to levels that work.  Start with each slider mid way
to get into the ballpark and adjust from there.

There's a way to do both front mic and line in (internal sound card) but I
would pick up my keyboard with the mic.  A couple of macros later and I
have a button for phone and a button for digital that changes settings
appropriately.

Correct. You can transmit and receive data just fine in SSB mode. It's good
that you fixed your problem, but that wasn't it.
