Conrad,
Assuming this is for 2m-eme, I would guess you have two preamps
before the transverter which are adding gain and setting the system NF.
If the preamp gain is approx 25 dB or higher, it will likely set the
system NF as it has enough gain to overcome the NF of the transverter and K3S.
Jim,
Yes, the net result is the same as what Frank posted.
My article goes a bit further into explaining that there are multiple
audio level controls, and that none of them should be near the lower or
upper extremes (because the adjustment gets "touchy").
Just how many audio level controls
Thanks Don. I will look at that info also. Essentially I assume it's the same
as Frank just posted. You guys are awesome. You would think after 65 years of
haming I would get this stuff figured out LOL. Gettin' old ain't for sissies

Jim,
With audio data modes (even if you are using SSB instead of DATA A), you
must have 4 bars solid on the ALC meter with the 5th bar flashing - that
is the NO ALC point for the K3/K3S/KX3/KX2.
If you do not have sufficient audio, the K3 will "power hunt" trying to
bring the power up to the
Hi Jim,
The symptom you observed is exactly how the K3 normally operates
when the audio level is too low.
The correct way to set up your audio level to:
- place the K3 in TX TEST mode
- click the TUNE button on the WSJT-X main screen
- adjust the audio level to display four bars
Hi again Don, this morning on a cold start the K3 power indicator tracked with
the Bird watt meter. Technically competent and not one to give up easily I
continued to trouble shoot almost to the verge of paralysis analysis. I put the
K3 on the bench and lashed it up as it were in the station
As I recall in the current version or maybe it was the previous version, there
was a change which affects the way it handles TX audio level. I wouldn't at
all be surprised that update a version does changes audio level. I believe it
is a bug fix to prevent audio distortion due to excessive
And make sure that your operating system has not changed your sound device
settings. Win 10 is bad about that (ask me how I know!)

Add to my earlier. You may need to adjust levels as previous version and this
one will be different.
Also suggest you use CAT control and not VOX as CAT is not affected by audio
levels.

Check SPKR level on the computer. Also check PWR slider on WSJT-X.
Check Audio tab on WSJT, F2 Menu, Audio tab to see that both Transmit and Tune
boxes are checked. This remembers the settings per band.

Hola,
Problem with keying the VOX on the K3s with new install. Select "Tune",
it turns red but xmtr does not key VOX.
Never had this problem with v 2.0.0. Double checked USB audio codex for
both speaker and microphone. Parameters checked for Radio tab, K3s,
using usb from KIO3 to computer, com4
Hello all.
I have a dual diversity Xpol EME system for 2m and a dual coherent transverter.
I am trying to calculate if I have enough gain available in the transverter to
split the output 4 ways with a loss of approximately 6dB.
The K3S has an MDS of -138dBm in a 500Hz bandwidth which is
