Recording Line Out on the K3

I have Line Out of the K3 connected to Line In on one of my soundcards. The
only way I've been able to record both sides of the QSO is to set the K3
Line Out to PHONES and turn up the MONitor to make it relatively equal in
volume to the received audio. This works, but it's annoying to have the
monitor that high, plus it means the Line Out level follows the AF Gain
control rather than being fixed level.

Is there any way to get both transmit and receive audio mixed on Line Out
at a fixed (and relatively similar) level?

Re: Recording Line Out on the K3

The problem of no TX Monitor audio on LINE OUT was fixed last July, in MCU
firmware 5.51, DSP 2.88.

What version of firmware is your K3 running?

Re: Recording Line Out on the K3

Thanks Bob, that was it (I was at MCU 5.50). Updated to latest and changed
LIN OUT back to NOR, and it works exactly how I wanted. I also found a
powerpoint presentation out on the web that you did for CTU on the subject
of recording contest audio - very informative. Thanks! Guess I need to
make more of an effort to watch for firmware updates- this radio keeps
getting better and better.

Re: Recording Line Out on the K3

Hello

how do you control TX output for the recording?

I am doing some tests, I have LIN OUT = 10 and is recording properly what I
RX on MAIN and SUB receivers.

But my TX on the audio file, is to high compare with RX recording

With LIN OUT = PHONES and MON = 10 is OK, but i dont like to have monitor
when doing SO2R or SO2V

thanks,
Jorge

Re: Recording Line Out on the K3

You need K3 Beta firmware 5.58 or later. It has a new feature:

TX LINE OUT (MONITOR) LEVEL NOW ADJUSTABLE: In CONFIG:LIN OUT menu entry,
tap '2' (REV switch) to set the "T=" level (TX monitor). Tap '2' again to
return to the RX LINE OUT setting.

Re: Recording Line Out on the K3

Thanks Bob

I updated some weeks ago to 5.57, will update to 5.58 to have this "Tap 2"
option and test it
