Use of LINE Input

Geoff AB6BT

The SSDR user guides are pretty outdated in certain areas and I can't find ananswer there so here I am…

On an 8600, and other models, there is no dedicated Line input jack. Instead, the line input is located on the accessory connector. In SSDR the Phone/CW panel has a dropdown that includes LINE. There is also a button labeled +ACC.

Do I need to just select LINE from the dropdown or do I also select +ACC?

What is the +ACC button used for?

I could find no reference to these in the User Guide.

Thanks!

Well, it look as though selecting LINE from the source dropdown does use the input on the 15-pin accesssory connector.

So….what is the +ACC button for????????

And, what is ACC in the dropdown?

Unless I'm missing something this is the latest info regarding the audio input dropdown:

Audio Input drop down (default MIC): Clicking on the drop-down box will display and allow
for the selection of the primary audio input source. The audio input options are MIC (front
panel 8-pin Foster connector), BAL (XLR balanced input) or LINE (TRS line level balanced audio
input), ACCY (rear panel accessory connector and PC (uses the default Windows recording
sound device). The audio inputs XLR and LINE are only available on the FLEX-6500 and FLEX-
6700.

Clearly needs updating…

The SSDR user guides, while a bit old are still current for this sort of thing.
