FT8

I can't get the WSJT-X CAT control to work with either my K3 or FT817, either.
Setting the PTT to VOX is the easiest way, set RADIO to NONE.  Setting the PTT to RTS will also work if you set PTT to RTS in the K3 menu, also with RADIO set to NONE.  I don't know why this works, but it does.
I tried everything I could think of to get CAT control to work without success.  If you get it working please let us know how.
As Don said, setting the audio correctly on transmit is critically important.

 My WSJT-X Preferences -> Radio are set as follows on my iMac (MacOS 10.13.3 "High Sierra"):
Rig: Elecraft K3/KX3
CAT Control:
Serial Port: /dev/cu.usbserial-AXXXXXX     (Actual serial number obfuscated)Baud Rate: 38400Data Bits: EightStop Bits: OneHandshake: NoneForce Control Lines: DTR: <blank> RTS: <blank>
PTT Method: RTS Port: (same /dev/cu.usbserial as CAT Control)
Transmit Audio Source: <greyed out>
Mode: Data
Split: Rig
My Preferences -> Audio -> Soundcard are set to "USB Audio CODEC" for both input and outputand both are Mono
My rig is a K3 with the KXV3B and KIO3B. I leave the filters opened up to 4.0kHz when in Data mode.I carefully tweak the outbound audio levels using the 'Pwr' slider on the right hand side of the WSJT-Xreporting window, in concert with the MIC gain adjustment on the K3, and there is some interactionthat requires some care to optimize for the 4 steady bars and one flickering bar on the ALC meter.
No, I don't know what the serial port designations for Microsoft Windows look like; I suspect thatLinux uses a device naming scheming similar to MacOS, but I haven't personally seen it.
HTH, and 73,
