Terry,
What data submodes are you using?
Fldigi is a soundcard oriented application and you should be using DATA
A for PSK and AFSK for RTTY. If you are trying to use data submodes of
PSKD or FSKD, you will receive just fine, but transmit will not happen
with Fldigi.
Typically, PSK will work fine at low power levels, but the RTTY folks
tend to run at higher power levels. You may manage on RTTY at 5 watts,
but the full 100 watts from the KXPA100 will give you better success rates.
Note that the default bandwidth for DATA A and AFSK A data submodes is
narrow on the KX3. You will want to widen the bandwidth to give you a
full waterfall display on Fldigi. Click on the signal of interest to
decode it and you should transmit on that frequency.
Fldigi does not have an idle timeout, and that is what is telling me you
are trying to work with Fldigi in PSK D or FSK D data submodes. Those
work from characters entered via the paddles keying CW or in ASCII
characters from KX3 Utility terminal tab, but will not work with the
audio tones provided by Fldigi. Use DATA A mode for PSK and other
digital modes, and AFSK A for RTTY work.

I am new to fldigi. I am using the SignaLink USB to interface between my
KX3 and computer. I have my KX3 connected to fldigi using Hamlib rig
control. That seems to work fine tracking the VFO and placing software into
the right mode when I change it on the KX3. First, could someone tell me
what power output I should be using for psk31, RTTY, and some of the other
digital modes supported by fldigi? I do have the KXPA100 if I need more
than 10 watts power.
I can receive digital modes just fine. I am still trying to identify the
various sounds other than PSK31 and RTTY which were the predominant ones I
used about 9 years ago before my hiatus from Ham Radio.
