I have a SignaLink USB external soundcard that I have used successfully for years with my former rig (FT1000MP). Got around to hooking it up to the K3 (#474) a couple weeks ago but still don't seem to have it right. I have the K3 jumper plug and the SignaLink K3 cable. There appears to be some conflict in the instructions from Tigertronics for the SignaLink device and those provided for operating Data Mode (Data A) with the K3. I understand that in using Data A, the K3's compression is turned off automatically. But the SignaLink documentation says turn the transmitter power to full output. The K3 instructions say to set output power lower on the K3 (25 or 30 watts) which is all I have ever used with data modes. Tigertronics says that the TX control pot on the front of the SignaLink becomes the output power (drive) adjustment for the transmitter. That isn't happening. And while the K3 automatically shuts down the compression mode, I'm wondering if it should also save the PO per mode and band. I have been through the K3 Data Mode section of the manual as well as Fred's (KE7X) fine expansion book and just get more confused.
Any SignaLink USB - K3 veterans have any thoughts on what I'm missing in the setup?
