Good day, everyone:
I am trying to figure out the best way to record contest audio from a K3 and an
FTdx-5000 and to provide a separate audio feed for monitoring. My first
attempt was to use the "Line Out" from the K3 (works great and you can adjust
the level from a K3 menu) and the FTdx-5000 "Rec" jack. I put in a headphone
splitter/amplifier and fed a set of headphones and two small USB voice
recorders.
The output level on the "Rec" jack is way too low to drive the recorders - even
with amplification from the headphone splitter. I briefly tried the "AF Out"
jack but ran out of time - was my mistake not using the "AF Out" jack? It
looks like this should work from the manual (300mV peak-to-peak versus 30mV for
the "Rec" jack).
Has anyone successfully used the "AF Out" jack or another approach to make this
work? I need to have the same levels out of the two radios (the K3 can't be
adjusted low enough to match the FTdx-5000).
I would prefer not to tap the headphone audio for recordings - the levels are
hard to get right and different headphones change the behavior. The "Line Out"
sort of connectors don't interact with the operators settings.

Mark, KD4D
