Something that caught me out once or twice is that the PC's audio output should be close to the K3's tone settings on RTTy (can't remember if this is DATA or AFSK modes - possibly both). With MMTTY, it's possible to net the TX tones to the RX tones anywhere on the watefall, but if the TX tones are way off the rig's expected tone frequencies, they are filtered away. [This is even without any TX equalization.]
