Richard,
Certainly, turn the MON to zero - either manually or with a Macro. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/6/2017 2:30 PM, Richard Lamont wrote: > Is there any way of configuring the rig so that when using a voice mode > with a microphone, the TX monitor feeds the headphones but not the > speaker(s)? ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Hi Richard,
There's a menu setting for SPKR + PHONES (from memory, I think that's what it's called) that toggles the speaker on and off. I assign that function to one of the soft buttons. Works great! 73, Jim K9YC On Thu,4/6/2017 11:30 AM, Richard Lamont wrote: > It would be useful when operating SSB to be able to hear my own voice in > the headphones, but not on the speaker, where it can cause feedback. > > Is there any way of configuring the rig so that when using a voice mode > with a microphone, the TX monitor feeds the headphones but not the > speaker(s)? > > 73, > Richard G4DYA > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[hidden email] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > Message delivered to [hidden email] > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

My previous post might not have made it clear what I'm trying to achieve
with the K3S. For RX audio, I usually listen on speakers. These mute when I plug the headphones in. That's standard and obvious and just what I want. When I'm using a voice mode with a microphone, I need the TX monitor audio to appear in the headphones and NOT the speakers. I need this to happen automatically, every time I plug in or unplug the headphones, without having to do anything else. Is there any way of configuring the rig to do precisely this? 73, Richard G4DYA ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

I do not believe that the K3 can do what you want. The monitor is either on or off independently of whether you are listening through the speaker or headphones. If you mainly listen through the speaker, just turn the monitor to zero and them turn it up when you wear headphones. I think that is the only way. 73 Barry VK2BJ On 7 April 2017 at 06:53, Richard Lamont <[hidden email]> wrote: > My previous post might not have made it clear what I'm trying to achieve > with the K3S. > > For RX audio, I usually listen on speakers.

Barry,
Thank you. You've confirmed what I suspected: that the desired functionality doesn't exist. To prevent monitor audio from the microphone from reaching the speaker, while keeping it going to the headphones, and to do this without operator intervention, seems a simple enough requirement. Having to fiddle with the monitor level after plugging or unplugging headphones is a right pain. What I'm asking for seems such a no-brainer I can't believe it isn't standard. Why on earth would anyone want their live microphone audio routed to the speaker? It's a transceiver, not a public address system. 73, Richard G4DYA On 06/04/17 22:30, Barry Simpson wrote: > Richard > > I do not believe that the K3 can do what you want.

You can write a macro to control the monitor level. Use the ML command.
ML (Monitor Level; GET/SET) SET/RSP format: MLxxx; where xxx is 000-060. Applies to current mode (CW sidetone, voice, or data). In voice modes, applies to MON level, even if DVR monitor level is independent (MAIN:TX DVR). See: <http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3S&K3&KX3&KX2%20Pgmrs%20Ref,%20G1.pdf> for details. Setting the level to zero is one of the examples.

The K3 is the only transceiver I've used with this facility. Monitor
level is saved per mode. I have SSB = 4, CW = 10 and Data = 5. I never notice any monitor audio on SSB, neither do I particularly feel the need and could just as well turn it off. Sidetone on telephones was an attempt to stop folks shouting. Maybe a lack of it is why you can hear the one sided conversations of folks talking on mobiles from across the street. For me CW monitor is for sidetone and Data monitor is just a gentle background burble to indicate all seems to be working. The house is pretty quiet and at nearly 69y my hearing is OK not having been exposed regularly to damaging noise levels. I usually use CM500 phones anyway with CONFIG AF GAIN = LO and the AF gain pot seldom above 9 o'clock. Regards, Mike VP8NO On 06/04/2017 19:08, Richard Lamont wrote: > Barry, > > Thank you.

Of course this is something you only want to do on phone. When operating CW, and maybe digital, you always want the monitor ON, even when using speakers. I do not understand you want to listen to both headphones and speakers at the same time, unless you have someone else in the shack who wants to hear what's going on with no risk of feedback from the speakers. Set MIC MON level to 0. Instead of listening on the headphone jack, connect your headphones to the LINE OUT jack, through an external headphone amplifier or the stereo LINE IN jack on a desktop PC sound card (and plug your headphones into the PC or headphone amp.). Note that MIC jacks on PCs may use stereo plugs, but they are almost always MONO inputs that cannot handle LINE level audio well. For convenience, set CONFIG:LIN OUT to =PHONES by tapping [1]. This allows the AF Gain knobs on the K3 to control the line out level. If running K3 Beta firmware 5.58 or later, tap [2] to to set the "T=" (TX monitor) level on the LINE OUT jack (this is a new feature). This setting is independent of the MON knob on the front. Tap [2] again to return to the prior menu state. I don't have a radio in front of me, so I can't remember what happens in the right audio channel when CONFIG:LIN OUT is set to =PHONES. Normally the right channel of LINE OUT is "dead" until you turn on the SubRx by tapping SUB. If you don't have the SubRx, all you have to do is listen to the left channel audio in both ears. You'll hear the mic. monitor in LINE OUT but not the K3 speakers. If you have the SubRx, you may have to use a switch to split your ears to both LINE OUT left and right channels when SUB is enabled, and left channel only in both ears when SUB is not enabled. You could in theory use an external relay triggered by the DIGOUT1 pin on the K3 accessory port and a macro assign to a function key to automatically control the headphone switching externally *and* toggle the SUB ON or OFF simultaneously, but I don't know of anyone who has bothered to try this. SubRx ON & DIGOUT1 ON: SB1;MN019;MP001;MN255; SubRx OFF & DIGOUT1 OFF: SB0:MN019;MP000;MN255; 73, Bob, N6TV ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

When you plug headphones in, there's a delay of about a second before the speakers mute. This strongly suggests that the muting is controlled by software, not just by cutting the speaker analogue audio directly on the back contacts of the headphone jack. So presumably the rig's software 'knows' when headphones are plugged in. > I do not understand you want to listen to both headphones and speakers > at the same time, unless you have someone else in the shack who wants to > hear what's going on with no risk of feedback from the speakers. I don't wish to listen simultaneously on both headphones and speakers. That isn't the problem. I'm just trying to keep the TX mon audio (from the mic) in the headphones and out of the speakers, without having to use macros or fiddling with controls. (All my macro buttons are used up, and if I forgot to push the button I'd be either missing sidetone or getting feedback next time I transmit. And fiddling with controls wastes time in a contest or pileup.) I use 'enclosing' headphones (Sennheiser HD25, Beyer DT100) that mean I cannot hear my own voice well enough without some sidetone, and this makes speech more difficult. As there appears to be no way of doing this at the moment, I guess this is a firmware feature request. I'm not aware of any other rig that does what I'm asking for. Historically, however, rigs had a single audio power amplifier and relied on 'dumb' switching of the amplified audio using the back contact on the headphone jack to mute the speaker. I'm inferring from the one second delay mentioned above that the K3S hardware is capable of supporting a smarter approach, even if firmware doesn't, yet. 73, Richard G4DYA ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
Richard,
Do you not read responses to your posts? Or do you reject anything that contradicts what you seem to have made up your mind to believe? Several of us have told you exactly how to accomplish what you want to do. I've been doing it for almost as long as I've owned a K3 (2008 for the first one). NO changes are needed to the radio or the firmware. It's all there. All you have to do is follow the advice you have been given. I also suggest that you study the manual for the radio. It's all there. 73, Jim K9YC On Fri,4/7/2017 1:03 AM, Richard Lamont wrote: > As there appears to be no way of doing this at the moment, I guess this > is a firmware feature request. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Tap [2] and set the the LINE OUT MON level (T=) at the LIN OUT jack to a comfortable level. Then leave your headphones plugged in there. Now there is no way that TX MON audio will get to the mic. via the speakers, but you will hear plenty of monitor in the headphones (always). To mute the speakers, plug something into the headphone jack (doesn't have to be headphones). To unmute, unplug. Leave your headphones connected all the time, to the LINE OUT jack. If you want to operate CW with speakers (really?) you'l have to turn up the monitor.

You can set the LINE OUT monitor level separately from the speaker / headphone monitor level, which comes pretty close to what you need. I guess what you're asking for boils down to a request for three independent monitor level settings: 1. Speakers 2. Headphones 3. Line out And you also probably want different monitor level's to be remembered for each mode. 73, Bob, N6TV ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Jim,
It might be worth your while re-reading Richard's posts. What he is asking for is the **automatic** toggling of the monitor function on insertion and removal of the headphone plug, without the use of a macro. The CONFIG:SPRK+PH setting does not achieve this. And yes, I've been using the PF2 key in the manner you describe for some years now. Bob's suggestion of using the line out sounds promising, but I think Richard is looking for a solution that doesn't involve an external headphone amplifier. 73, Phil, GJ4CBQ.

Phil, *You* need to read the responses. If Richard will *TURN OFF* CONFIG:SPRK+PH, there will be no monitor feedback when using the headphones. Simple, effective, and completely documented in the Owner's Manual (and has been since the very first K3). Richard admits that he does not need the speakers when he is using headphones/operating SSB. There is no reason not to simply mute the speakers when using phones. 73, ...
