Thanks. Yes, everything's working now. I guess my problem was the Line
Gain at zero and not knowing how to adjust it. Reading the manual and
having you point me to the source of the problem were the keys. Thanks
again! 73 de Carl, N8VZ

Carl,
Yes, because the control defaults to Mic Gain only. You should not
have the mic live for digital modes.

Carl,
When Line In is selected for input, the MIC Gain control sets the level.

Thanks, Don. I think you are thinking along the right lines here. The
SignaLink instructions, though, indicate that the problem is usually
an incorrect setting in the K3 Line In levels. Here's their exact
wording: "Some customers have found that the K3's "Line In" gain (menu
setting) is set to zero by default, thereby resulting in no power
output when transmitting. If up experience this problem, then please
consult your radio manual for instructions on turning up this
control." My problem is that I can't find the relevant instructions.
I find a Config setting for LIN OUT but nothing for Line In levels
either in the general of config menus. Can you tell me where this
setting is hidden? ;-) Tnxs & 73 de Carl, N8VZ

Carl,
I figure you are using the K3 LINE IN jack, and when you used it on
the KX3, you used the MIC jack.
The Line In needs a much larger audio signal than the mic level that
your SignaLink is providing.
There is a jumper you can change in the SL box to increase the audio
output level - look for it in the SL manual.

I've been trying to set up my data modes using a SignaLink USB, which
I've used with good results with my KX3, with my K3. I do have the
correct K3 jumper board in the SL. I also have the SignaLink supplied
cables hooked up correctly. I can monitor digital signals just fine.
I can not get any TX audio actually transmitted, though Windows
indicates that the USB Codec Speaker is getting plenty of audio on
TX. I've tried to use the Test TX DATA routine within the K3 and get
no ALC even when Windows indicates that that line has full bore
audio. I'm probably doing something rather simple wrong here, but I
can't for the life of me figure out what it might be. In terms of
experience, I'm an old hand at digital modes having run them on
numerous rigs, with various computers and external sound card
combinations over a number of years. I'm, however, very new to the K3
as I just purchased it used at Dayton this year, and I'm just now
trying to hook it up for digital modes. Thanks for any help you can
give. 73 de Carl, N8VZ
