Re K3 Audio

Does any one know the command for both Mike in Front Panel and Line in rear panel?

I need both at the same time, Mike for voice and Line in for digital.

LIN IN and LIN OUT are both on the rear panel. No use mic for this.

Look at the latest K3/K3S manual on the Elecraft website, page 55. The menu settings you need are “MIC SEL” and “MIC+LIN”. They interact with each other.

This is absolutely a terrible idea. I doubt that your shack is silent
while working data modes and any noise - you talking, someone else
yelling at your, a TV/radio/computer running in the background, or even
fan noise will be picked up by the open mic.

That said ...

Assuming you will be using USB *with CMP set to zero*, set MENU:MIC SEL
as needed for your mic and MENU:MIC+LIN = ON.

Note: you will first need to set MENU:MIC SEL=LINE and adjust the mic
gain/sound card output for four to five bars of ALC. This sets the Line
IN gain. Then switch to MENU:MIC SEL as needed for your mic (FP.h or
FP.L) and again adjust the mic gain for ALC peaking between 5 to 7 bars.
Now you can select MENU:MIC+LINE and set it to ON to enable both inputs.
Adjusting the mic gain with MENU:MIC+LINE = ON will adjust *ONLY* the
mic gain for the *MICROPHONE* input, in order to change the Line In
(digital) level, you will need to adjust the sound card output *or*
change MENU:MIC SEL to LINE before adjusting the mic gain.

I suspect that what you most likely need is for Line In to be used during
digital mode operation (with the microphone muted), and the microphone to
be used during voice mode operation.

The audio input settings for voice modes and digital modes are stored
independently, so this is easy. With the radio in SSB, you set MIC SEL to
wherever your microphone is plugged in, with the appropriate bias and level
settings. With the radio in DATA A or AFSK A mode, set MIC SEL to LINE IN
and adjust the Mic gain control to get the required 4-5 bars of ALC meter
reading in digital modes.

The only reason you might need MIC+LIN to be set to ON is if you were using
the computer sound card as a digital voice keyer in voice modes, in which
case you might want both microphone and line in to be active while
operating in voice modes. In this case, set MIC+LIN to ON with the radio in
SSB, and OFF with the radio in DATA A or AFSK A.

In both cases, you will only need to set this up once; the settings are
remembered independently in the two modes from then on.
