Mike, While in data mode, press Menu, dial to MIC SEL, ensure it's set to Line In not RPL or FPL (right or front panel), now the mic should definitely not be live and if it is (and triggers VOX), you have a problem with your rig and it needs to be fixed before you use data modes again. The

Got it, Thomas. For some long forgotten reason I had MIC SEL set to MIC+LIN. DOH! 73, Mike NF4L On 1/27/2012 4:04 AM, Thomas Horsten wrote: Mike, While in data mode, press Menu, dial to MIC SEL, ensure it's set to Line In not RPL or FPL (right or front panel), now the mic should

Tim I run fldigi with my K3, no need for any interface, just sound card cables and RS232. The program is free from http://www.w1hkj.com/ You also need to download the K3.xml file (from the above page) and it works... You don't need the companion program flrig as the fldigi program itself reads

Tim, Make sure you have MIC SEL on the MAIN menu set to PH+Line-In. This allows the back line-in jack to be active for transmit/receive on the back panel Line-In port. I also use the SignaLink with my K3 and don't have any issues with this setting. Hope this helps. 73, --Ian Ian Kahn, KM4IK

Tim, You say that the PTT output from the Tigertronics jack goes to ground, but that does not cause the K3 to go into transmit -- I think something is awry in that area. Think cable - have you checked the cable between the Tigertronics and the K3 PTT jack? Pull the cable off the Tigertronics

This is a subject that has been aired many times on the server...(a) the combination you are using (which is the same as mine) works just fine, (b) you must be sure the K3 is IN VOX mode -- examine the display to make sure that VOX shows above the AGC entry to the mid-left of the screen. If

I have an ongoing, long standing problem with using VOX to key the K3 in Data mode. My sound card is a Creative USB dongle. I use a CM500 headset/mic, plugged into the back panel. If I get the mix of volume, line in level and VOX gain high enough to reliably key the rig, the smallest noise

I don't get it, when you are in DATA mode it takes the Line In signal and ignores the microphone input if you've configured the rig correctly, any input on the Microphone line should be completely ignored and VOX should work 100%. Still, on the K3 there is absolutely no need for any external

After some nudges from the community prompted me to experiment further, I changed MIC SEL from MIC+LIN to rP.H ant turned MIC+LIN on. That seems to have fixed it. 73, Mike NF4L On 1/26/2012 9:48 AM, Mike wrote: I have an ongoing, long standing problem with using VOX to key the K3 in Data
