As I brought up this discussion, I should add:
Many of the suggestions that the folks gave me really help with getting
me going, but the one issue that should not have been an issue was the
Audio settings in WJST. I had selected the K3 Audio out USB (I renamed
my audio devices in Win10 so I know which USB sound device is which) My
setting should have worked but it did not. I fixed it by setting audio
output device as my computer speakers. Saved that settings. The went
right back in and changed it to K3 Audio out. That fixed it. I would
consider that issue is with WJST not the K3USB stuff.

Hi Bob,
What is puzzling is why the audio settings were changed on WSJT. I surely
wouldn't have gone into the program and make a change like that while running
stations.

Using Windows 10 Pro, I do use the computer for other audio activities, editing
music, choir performances, listening to music and such. This will change the
audio parameter settings of Windows. Thus one needs to understand the
various selections and audio level values for the computer, the software and
the radio.
I use the USB input on my K3S and have a single USB cable which connects to the
computer. I do not have or use a separate interface. I find this keeps things
more reliable and less complex. The WSJT-X software sets the radio parameters
when I open the application. I may need to tweak the computer levels a bit,
depending on what I was doing last. Otherwise, it is solid and reliable.

I run into this over and over with Windows 10, and I'm embarrassed to
say I often don't know what makes the difference. I use the
microphone input and speakers output on an outboard USB sound card,
and generally find myself just dinking around with the various sound
settings until I find something that causes it to start working. My
suspicion is that Windows 10 update has a nasty habit of resetting
audio arrangements to some arbitrary set of "defaults."

Don,
Tnx for the reminder on checking the audio on the ALC meter. It was
so long since I had a problem I forgot about doing that. There was no
audio shown on the K3. What happened is that in WSJT-X > Settings >
Audio > Soundcard, The OUTPUT was no longer Speakers (USB Audio
CODEC). Somehow it changed to SPEAKERS (Realtek High Definition
Audio), which is my audio for my pc. Changed it to what it was
supposed to be and now I am fine. I have no idea what changed the
setting as I was working station after station when this happened.
Weird.

Tony,
Soundcard problem or K3 problem. This is most commonly a problem
with audio into the K3.
How many bars illuminate on the ALC meter? It should be 4 with the
5th bar flashing. If not, look at the audio levels.
See the article on my website www.w3fpr.com

Scratching my head. I was making Q's on FT8 with my K3 and WSJT-X,
v2.0.1 when I no longer would get power out.
WSJT is keying the K3 (Red transmit light is on) but no power out.
The
K3 keys fine with power out in CW or other modes is fine. WSJT is
talking to the K3. WSJT shows the correct frequency, it is decoding
and when I go into Settings > Radio and hit Test CAT it goes green.
When I hit TUNE on WSJT it turns to red and the red TX light on the
K3 comes on. But no power out.
