Line out
Locked
 
|
Gloomy weather this morning so unlike Arizona weather. Anyway the other day someone posted a note about Config:spkrs:2 for turning off the speakers. Yep because of my hearing going down hill i run the K3 that way. However, in that configuration only the SUB rx is disabled from the speaker and not the main rx. Now when i've got the headpbnes on, i can hear both rx in there but again, the main rx is still on the speaker. Along the same lines, when i listen to JT-65 or WSPR or any of the digital modes i have to use the Aux rx as i never have gotten any audio from the main rx thru the "line out" jack. I wouldn't think that is normal. It's been this way ever since i bought the radio this past July and i've only done one upgrade software wise. WHY? With all the complaints i have read about i decided i wasn't going to do any software changes until things settled down. Anyone have any ideas as to why the audio as i've described above is doing what it's doing? It's not kil
ling me other than curiosity wise and the idea that i'd like to have it working right.

Larry,
If your speaker is not getting turned off when you plug headphones in, you probably have CONFIG:SPKR+PH set to "yes". Try changing that to "no". It is NOT normal for the main receiver to be absent from line out. Make sure you are looking at the left channel (should be on the tip of the connector). The main RX should be on the left channel, and the sub on the right (ring). ~Iain / N6ML On Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 3:13 PM, <[hidden email]> wrote: > Gloomy weather this morning so unlike Arizona weather.

Larry,
There are two configuration options that interact with this: 1. If CONFIG:SPKRS is set to 2, then the internal speaker will only play the left channel (main RX). To get both channels in the internal speaker, you need to set this option to 1; but if you do this, the external speaker jack will also supply combined mono audio to the left channel only. 2. If CONFIG:SPKR+PH is set to YES and CONFIG:SPKRS is set to 1, you will only get sound in the left channel of the headphones. If you set this option to NO, the headphones will not be affected by the choice of SPKRS (1 or 2), but when you plug headphones in to either headphone jack, the speaker outputs (internal and external) will be muted. 3. The LINE OUT jack is unaffected by the above, or by the AF gain controls. 4. My experience has been that there is some variability among 3.5 mm (1/8-in) phone connectors; some combinations of plugs and jacks do not always seem to make reliable contact. If you are only getting output from the right channel, it sounds as if perhaps the plug is not pushed all the way into the LINE IN jack. 73, Rich VE3KI On Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 3:13 PM, <[hidden email]> wrote: > Gloomy weather this morning so unlike Arizona weather.

Also, you might want to check your cable with an ohmmeter - the comment
below caused me to recall a year at Dayton when I had to make up a cable in the hotel room - went to Rat Shack and bought a couple stereo plugs. Darn if both of them were bad, no connection from the tip to the solder lug, and these were new plugs. 73, Don W3FPR Richard Ferch wrote: > 4.
