line out question

Hi,

I do not have a sub-receiver in my K3.

Is there any way to send the main receiver audio to the left and right
outputs on the line out jack?

Some times I "patch" my computer soundcards together to send the K3 audio
into an amplifier and stereo speakers, but I only get one channel, the left
(I think).

Does anybody have any ideas around this?

Thanks,

Jeff / N1KDO

Jeff,

If you must use Line Out ...
Rather than a mod to the K3, May I suggest you build a special cable.
At the K3 end connect a stereo plug, but with both conductors connected
to the tip - the shield still goes to the shell.

Alternately, connect to the Speaker Output jack instead of Line Out and
you can have the AFX effects available. With no subRX, the audio is
routed to both the left and right channels of the SPKR output is you
have Speakers = 2 set in the menu.

That works very well. I go from the Spkr jack to a Radio Shack amplifier
that goes to two stereo speakers mounted on the wall and pointed at me.
Wonderful audio. I've done this with all my radios for over 10 years.
