Line In not playing.

[Dick Frey]

I'm trying to help a friend setting up his K3 for PSK with a Signal link
USB and HRD.

It goes into transmit but the output power is zero.  If I turn the USB's tx
gain all the way up, I can hear some weak audio from the K3's speaker when
the ptt keys it to TX.

The mic+LIN is ON.   What am I missing?.

Turn off MIc+Lin and set MENU:MIC SEL = Line IN then set the line In
level (mic gain encoder).  With Mic+Lin ON the mic gain encoder sets
the mic level not the Line Level.

For digital modes, you should be set to Line In only and Dig A. The Mic
Gain will act as Line Input Gain.

Put your finger on the end of the INPUT cable and transmit.  See if you get
hum.  I found that the chokes on my input lines are bad... dunno why but
evidently some radios have bad chokes.
