DigiKeyer II Connections to K3

I just installed a Digikeyer II to my K3. I am not having any problem with N1MM Plus or ACLog. The Winkeyer works just fine when it comes to sending CW. My issues are with FLDigi. I have the Line In connection and Line Out connection to the appropriate holes in the back. Some have told me to switch them but if I do that I lose my waterfall all together. I receive no problem, but the problem is when I try and transmit. Fldigi keys the K3, but I don't get any power or ALC bars. I have the Mode set to Data and Data A. Do I have the wrong settings or what? Mark Griffin, KB3Z

Have you selected MENU:MIC SEL = LInE In and adjusted the
mic gain for 4 bars (fifth flickering) when you try to
transmit AFSK or PSK31 (per the K3 Owners Manual)?

Re: DigiKeyer II Connections to K3

Joe,
Yes I have the correct settings for the Mic Line. The K3 goes from receive to transmit, but there is no power or ALC. And even if I turn the microphone gain to 60 nothing happens. Must I have the Accessory connection on the cable connected to the Accessory jack? I have been told by some that the line in should be connected to line out and the line out jack should be connected to line in. I even tried that and of course I cannot see any signals on the waterfall! Mark Griffin, KB3Z

The Accessory connection is used for FSK and PTT. You need it
connected for PTT.

Does fldigi transmit in RTTY (AFSK) or any other mode (MFSK, Olivia,
etc.)?

Where is the slider for "fldigi/Hamlib K3/KX3" set in the Windows
Volume Mixer (Headset Earphone)? Where is the Master (Headset
Earphone) slider set?

Is Configure | Sound Card in fldigi set to "Port Audio" and Playback
set to Headset earphone (microHAM CODEC)?

Where is the TX Level pot set on the front of DK II?

Can you transmit if you connect a 3.5mm to 3.5 mm cable between
the output of another sound card and the Line In of the K3? I
have known L4 and/or L5 on the KIO3 Audio I/O board to fail open.
