David,
Why did you select PSK D when you have anything plugged into the MIC
jack? See the DATA MODES section in the manual for more detailed
information, but "in brief":
PSK D does not respond to audio, but only to input from the paddles (in
CW which is converted to PSK signals) or from ASCII text sent over the
CAT cable.
You did not say what you have connected on the other end of those
cables, and that is an important piece of information.
If you have a soundcard connected to the other end of the cables, you
must use DATA A submode (or AFSK A for RTTY). Again, see the DATA MODES
section of the manual.
Since those cables have TRS plugs (and not TRRS plugs), you may have to
turn off MIC BTN and MIC BIAS in the KX3 menu.
73,

I decided to get my new (to me) KX3 going on psk31. I ordered the proper
cables from Elecraft. Plugged the cables into the KX3 ("red" cable go to the
Phones jack; "green" cable goes to the Mic jack). Put the radio in data
mode ("PSK D" selected). The radio begins to scan, and will not stop until
I unplug the green cable going to the Mic jack). I tried this set up with
two different external soundcards and well as the one internal to the Sony
laptop; no joy. I also tried different digital software programs to see if
that was the problem; still no joy.
