K3S MIC+LIN

I just spent the better part of the day trying to get my .wav files to play
on my new K3S. (This is part of my annual siege getting ready for the SS
SSB version.) The .wav files worked nicely last year on a K3. The
solution was, of course, simple but I pored over the K3S manual, the KE7X
manual, and spent way too much time on the N1MM+ documentation to no avail.

It turns out that Barry N1EU solved my problem as he described a similar
issue in 2015.
http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3s-USB-audio-td7611460.html

I may have missed it somewhere but the KIO3B USB CODEC deals with
digitized audio via LINE IN and LINE OUT. So, on the K3S if using the USB
to avoid all those messy cables, then one has to go to the K3S *Menu* /*
MIC+LIN* (default is OFF) and turn it *ON*.

In addition, N1MM+ has to be configured (*Audio* tab) properly.

These interfacing jobs can be very frustrating. Perhaps Elecraft or KE7X
might wish to address the issue in their printed materials. Or maybe its
all there and I missed it.... Good luck in SS!

In reply to this post by Bill Rogers W3UL

Actually if you read the N1MM+ documentation, you will find that if
you check "Radio 1 Output Device is an Internal Radio CODEC" on the
Audio tab, (or the "Internal Radio CODEC" box in the Audio Setup &
Monitor screen if you are using the N1MM+ Audio option) N1MM+ will
switch the K3S from mic to LINE IN (CODEC) when playing a WAV file
and switch back to MIC in when the WAV file terminates.

There is no need to use MIC+LIN with the K3S. The same approach *may*
work with a K3 and Line Out/Line IN but I haven't tried it.
