Hello all,
I have studied the prior posts about KX3 and PSK31 but I am still not
getting it.
1. The other day I succeeded in setting Mic Btn to OFF but today when
I go to the menu the only choices for Mic Btn are PTT and NR - OFF no longer
shows up as a choice! Where did I go wrong?
2.

Hi Julie,
On 2) you can do it, but you have to be careful. Any of the system
beeps or startup sounds may go out over the air, and you don't want that.
You don't need an elaborate USB sound card, but using one avoids making
mistakes.

Hi Julie,
A lot of laptops these days are using those annoying combo jacks, which
instead of having a tip, ring, and sleeve, have a tip two rings, and a
sleeve, putting the mic-in and stereo headphone-out connections one a
single jack. Splitters are available online, but I have not been
. Just trying to give you encouragement.

Hello all,
I have studied the prior posts about KX3
Many laptops have stereo line in and mono mic in.
I think even my old Pentium 4 Dell laptop had stereo line in.
PSK31 should be quite easy. Re-read the digital section of the manual and you
should be able to get it going.
ALSO note that many button presses or menu items are mode specific.
You don't need an elaborate USB sound card, but using one avoids
making mistakes.
You do if you use the I/Q port and a laptop as most mic inputs on
laptops are mono.
so using a usb sound card should give you stereo mic inpu for i/q audio.
If you check and make
sure the usb has stersio mic
Maybe I'm missing something. My reasoning for a second sound card is
keeping the system sounds going out over the air.

Turn them off, that's what I have done. Mostly they are just ear wax.

Agreed, but I use my computers. They're business tools and not something
that I dedicate solely to my hobby. I know that's a little different
from most here.
A relatively inexpensive USB soundcard is cheap insurance -- and an
expensive soundcard is still cheaper than another laptop, and one

Not only keeping the system sounds from going out on the air, BUT ---
If you are using a laptop, the internal sound card typically has only a
Mic level input (no line-in).
With a mic level input, the KX3 (or K3) will overdrive the mic input
unless you provide an attenuator in the line.
My last desktop machine died in 2006. It led a long and useful life, at
least two standard eternities.*
... but I realized that my laptop was twice as powerful as my desktop,
so I just switched -- and haven't looked back.
