Jack,
Another possibility is that you have DM780 set to supply PTT via HRD and
HRD is issuing a CAT command to the KX3 to go into transmit. If the
Signalink PTT is also used, things can become confused.
There are several other possibilities such as VOX being on and set to a
value that is staying set on from whatever low level noise is on the mic
cable from the SL.

Good Weekend All,
Don't have easy access to search the archives, so at risk of a dup,
here is a "finding" from setting up the KX3, SignaLink with the KX3
Tigertronics made cables, and DM780. HRD works flawlessly with
Elecraft KXUSB here, but...
Using the little paper instruction insert that came with the SL to KX3
cables from Tigertronics, it was implied that the KX3 menu entry for
MicBtn was to be in PTT Up.Dn. Well, that is apparently backwards. The
system behaves normally if Mic Btn is OFF, and when set as instructed
in the little sheet, the outgoing data string is transmitted in your
selected mode, then the SL unkeys (as it should), but the KX3 stays in
transmit.
When the KX3 is set as the TigerTronic folks suggest, I assume the SL
vox relay was being "overruled" by the TX command by KXUSB control
because tapping the XMIT button on the rig would drop the rig back
into receive. With PTT set OFF, the SignaLink VOX circuit has proper
control.
Had me stumped for a minute.. hope this helps someone setting up in
the future.
