K3s USB audio

The K3s manual p18 makes no indication that USB digitzed audio is not
supported in SSB. Can anyone confirm that USB audio is actually NOT
supported in SSB?

On another note, I'm seeing a huge amount of 60hz hum being passed on
the USB codec playback device, rendering it unusable for rig
recording. Has anybody else tried this?

Thanks & 73,
Barry N1EU

Re: K3s USB audio

The Codec deals with digitized audio of LINE IN and LINE OUT, independent of
mode. It works fine for me in RTTY and I don't see why it wouldn't work for
SSB and other modes.

A couple times, I did see spikes at 60 Hz intervals in the RTTY audio
spectrum. Since most of the time that was not the case, I assumed it was
intermittently coming from somewhere else.

Re: K3s USB audio

It doesn't work with N1MM Logger+, probably the top application for
using SSB audio through the USB codec. I believe the N1MM team is
investigating.

Re: K3s USB audio

That sounds like a N1MM problem. The K3 Codec shows up fine as a Windows
sound device. And, it works well with Win-Test and WriteLog. I haven't
tried it with N1MM Logger+.

Re: K3s USB audio

No problem here with N1MM+ playing wav files through the USB audio codec. Or with WSJT or MMTTY.
In N1MM+ you have to (or can) have the wav files in a directory ../wav/{operator}/...wav where {operator} is the call or name of the OPON operator.

I think the USB CODEC works great. What you can't do, though is switch audio streams in SO2R, at least with the YCCC SO2R box. At least I haven't figured out how to do that yet.
Cheers,

Re: K3s USB audio

Hi Barry,
Have you tried using the K3s regular Line In port with another sound card? If that works sure sounds like something amiss with the USB in the KIO3B.
Cheers,
Fred
