Disconnected K3 input to computer soundcard and the SSB noise / echo
disappeared - now to fine tune.  Thank you.

There was a time, around the time when dirt was young, that the mic had a 1/4" phone plug on it and went to the 1/4" mic jack on the front panel of the transmitter, the headphones had a 1/4" phone plug that was inserted into the 1/4" jack on the receiver, the key had a 1/4" phone plug plugged into the 1/4" key jack on the front or rear panel of the transmitter, PTT was STT ["switch to transmit"], a toggle switch usually on the transmitter, and there was no computer ... they hadn't been invented yet. OK, the Collins KWM2 and S-line had a 3/16" two circuit mic jack, Art was always a little ahead of the pack.

My experience has been that, if something is going wrong or is producing unexpected results, disconnect the computer. Works just about all the time.
