I did very little to set up FT modes on my KX3. Got a cheap USB sound card with a line in jack. Use 2 stereo audio cables with 3.5 mm plugs at each end. One from phones jack on KX3 to line in on sound card, Other cable goes from mic connector on KX3 to speaker jack of sound card. Set mode to Data, set submode to Data A. Using WSJT-X there is a rig selection for Elecraft KX3. I set it up for CAT PTT if I remember correctly. Once you have the rig set properly you need to set the levels, I find it is best to set both the WSJT-X level slider about a third of the way up and the output level of the sound card similarly. Then using the Tune button in WSJT-X adjust the MIC/LINEIN pot on the KX3 to get 4 solid bars of ALC with the 5th one just flashing then use Power setting to adjust output level. Adjust output level to your sound card for a reasonable level on the waterfall display.
