digital

[Richard Thorpe]

I have a question for the group.  I'm trying to setup for digital,  
this is what I have, K3 running through a microham USB II to my Mac  
running cocoaModem.  The K3 manual says be careful of running the line  
out volume above 10, well to get any meter reading at all in  
cocoaModem I have to run the line out at 100 maximum.  And this is  
just the input.  I also have the trimpots on the microham USB II all  
the way up.  Any ideas out there.

Hi Richard,

Try running the audio to/from the Mac directly to/from the K3. I *believe* the K3 already provides the audio isolation transformers, so there's no need to route the audio through the microHam device. I have the K3 line out going directly to the line in on my iMac, and the line out (headphone jack) on my iMac going directly to the line in on the K3. This works FB for me and I get plenty of audio output from the K3. I can even get near 100% RTTY and PSK copy on cocoaModem using the iMac's internal microphone picking up the audio from the K3's internal speaker from 3 feet away at relatively low volumes. :)

Have you tweaked the input levels in the Sound panel in System Preferences?
