TX Audio

Keith Robinson
To all the new K3S owners,
I need a little help with an issue I am having with my K3S so I thought
I would ask for some input.
The issue is with audio being sent from the PC to radio thru the USB cable. Simply put, I have non. Receive audio going back to the PC
from the radio is fine. The S meter on HRD sees signals just fine. I can decode CW , PSK , and RTTY fine also.
I just can’t transmit any audio. By the way CW sends great, no problem with that.
Doesn’t matter what the source is. Could be a digital program or a logging program or a contesting program.
I tried DVK files (wav.files) even  recorded music but nothing.

It appears that Windows is doing it’s job here. You can see the audio being played on the little meters in the playback devices window.
But nothing at the radio.
I have tried this on 3 different computers with the same results. With different OS. Win.7, Win.8.1.
USB drivers seem to load fine when I connect the radio.
I checked all the menu settings.

Just don’t know where to go from here.
Am I missing something?

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Be sure the 3.5mm LINE IN jack has nothing plugged in.  if a cable is
plugged into this jack, the KIO3B will only accept LINE audio from the
jack, not from the USB.

LINE OUT will always be active on both the analog 3.5mm jack as well as USB.

Keith,

May be obvious, but make sure MENU::MIC SEL is set To Line In, and as Lyle is saying nothing shall be plugged into the rear Line In port.
On the PC, select "Speakers (USB Audio Codec)"

K144XV

Mark AB7MP
In reply to this post by Lyle Johnson
Has anybody run into this?

Building my K3S and I'm ready to install the K144XV which needs a 1-pin
connector on the RF board.  The two options in the instructions don't seem
to match my board and the errata sheet doesn't address it.  I've sent email
to tech support, but really need to wrap this project up before the wife
gets home tonight and finds her dining table looking like a work bench!!

I've been looking through the radio for a 1-pin unused connector
pre-installed - no joy.

The instructions indicate two possible locations near U12 and C198.  No
holes in that location on my board.

Elecraft got right back to me on this - error in the manual.

From Elecraft:

The KXV144 power cord plugs in to P95 (near the batt on the RF board)  the
pin 1 end
Thanks for pointing the error out in the K3S Manual.
