Can you decode RTTY signals? If not, get that working as a first step. Is the soundcard device selected in HRD the same one that is connected to the K3 Line-In and Line Out jacks? The soundcard LINE OUT (or SPKR) should connect to the K3 LINE IN. Do you have the computer soundcard output

Re: [Elecraft] Trying to gauge interest

If you look at the schematics of the KATU, you'll see the chain of shift registers on the KATU actually sends a signal back to the RF board. So the CPU sends the command to the KATU and if the ATU doesn't respond (via the MISO3 line), the CPU interprets that to mean the KATU isn't present As
