My friend, I had the same type of problem in bringing the KX3 up to speed for
digital. The rig would begin wildly scanning when connected to an Mic sound
card. My solution was to use my old Signalink sound card instead with a home
brew cable. Does a very nice job. In trouble shooting the iMic
Good morning!
I've only had my KX3 for a month, but I've enjoyed it so far. Recently, I
have been trying to operate digital modes (RTTY and PSK31) using my SB
Audigy 2 NX external sound card and several different programs (fldigi,
KComm, HRD, and a few others). I am using the KX3USB for control
The mic socket in the KX3 is a 4-conductor type.
If not wired correctly (e.g., it's *not* the
4-conductor configuration of an iPhone!) you can
key down the rig as soon as the plug is inserted.
This could be your problem, Sonny

Sonny,
Try this.
Go to SSB mode, then go to the menu item MIC BTN and rotate VFO A
until it displays OFF. Also set MIC BIAS to OFF.
Then go back to data mode, plug in your cables and operate.
When you want to use the microphone again, go back to SSB mode and set
up the MIC BIAS and MIC
You can use a TRS plug on the KX3 if you set MIC BTN to OFF.

Also, part of the magic of using FLDigi and a SignaLink card is that the
software does all of the work by design. The KX3 remains in SSB mode for PSK or
RTTY, so it becomes a quick cable swap to plug in digital or plug in a
microphone.

TRS = Toy Radio Shack, or what?

You don’t want the KX3 in SSB (USB) for these modes. If you do that, you need
to turn off TX EQ, compression, and RX EQ every time you go digital. Then turn
it all back on for voice.
DATA A exists primarily as a separate config set for USB that takes care of
that for you.

Maybe your MIC BTN setting, page 35 in the manual?
I was struggling a little with digital modes on my KX3. After trying
several things, I picked up a USB Traveller from G3LIV
(http://www.g3liv.co.uk/). Has keyed PTT via USB, isolation
transformers, and controls for RX/TX levels. It's small

Tip-Ring-Sleeve -- a common stereo plug. But as has been noted, the
KX3 uses a TRRS plug.
Another point. The SignaLink is NOT a very good sound card. Several
years ago, I evaluated several good, inexpensive USB
