Gerald, Make *sure* you follow Tigertronic's setup procedures for the SignaLink. Pay special attention to the part about audio levels both input and output. For my SignaLink, my MIC gain is about 29 and LIN OUT is about 10 (it may vary from rig to rig). Compression is 0 (or off), but I

That is not the right solution, especially if one wants to use their computer's sound card for it's designated duties. I have a SignalLink and it was the easiest set up I've done for digital modes. Features I like that sound cards don't have... 1. Old fashioned Power on/off button 2. LED PTT

Are you using PSK31 normal frequencies? You can find these at http://www.podxs070.com/common-psk31-operating-frequencies. There is a good explanation about why these common frequencies are best to use for trying to make PSK31 contacts. If you can't get anyone else by CQing, drop me a line at

OK. You're using the K3 set to DATA - DATA A mode. So far so good. How is the rig connected to your computer? Directly or through an interface? How are you keying the rig? This sounds like the big question here. Are you using VOX, DTR/RTS, or direct COM port keying? What software are

Data A is the proper sub-mode for PSK31. Do you have your audio level set correctly? Compression should be zero, but Increase the audio until you see 4 bars illuminated with the 5th bar flickering on the ALC scale. Use the power knob to set the desired power level. With the K2, K3 and KX3,

Gerald, Your SignaLink by default is plugged for Mic level output - and if you have the SignaLink line out cable connected to the K3 Line-in, you need to change a jumper to increase the audio out to line level (see the SignaLink instructions). Currently, you do not have enough audio coming
