Sid, Why aren't you using the sound card in the K3S? Then your JT65 and PSK software talks to the K3S sound card through the USB cable. Then you do not need external sound cards or connections to LINE IN, LINE OUT or the front panel MIC jack. I operate AFSK RTTY and this is how I have MTTY, N1MM and Writelog set up.

Note that this has nothing to do with your headset that you use for SSB. Use DATA A mode rather than SSB because that data submode sets compression to 1-1 and the TX EQ to flat. That setting is independent of any settings you may have for SSB. I am just curious why you have not connected the soundcard output to the Line In jack on the back of the K3 - it is not only more convenient when switching between SSB and data modes, but it offers transformer isolation for the soundcard lines. In either case, adjust the audio level to produce 4 bars solid with the 5th bar flashing on the ALC meter - that is the "no ALC" point for the K3. Set the power desired with the K3 power knob. Ignore the "internet" advice to adjust the power using the audio level - that does not work with the K3. Adjust the power level with the power knob. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/10/2016 8:37 PM, Sid Frissell wrote: > Don and Bill-- I am using the front panel mike jack and Mic-select (Data mode) is set FP.L. > > Sid, NZ7M > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
