I recommend Fldigi by W1HKJ as currently the best digital modes program - if you don't need all the bells and whistles of HRD.
Setting up the power level: Currently you can't rely on the K3 limiting the power output to the level set with the POWER control when data mode is used. Therefore I would suggest you use the following procedure. Connect the rig to a power meter and set the POWER control to some value, say 20W. In the software, click to set the cursor in the center of the passband and then click the Tune button in the software, which should send a pure sine wave not an idling signal. Use the MIC control to adjust LINE IN until the power output on the meter matches the level you set on the POWER control. If LINE IN adjustment is too coarse to set the output power exactly, reduce the audio level from the computer using the mixer sliders. Once this input level has been set, the output power should follow the POWER control fairly accurately. Do not run more than 40W unless you have some means of monitoring the signal to be sure it is not excessively wide and causing interference to other PSK users. ----- Julian, G4ILO.
