How do I put KX3 into transmit with JT65-HF

ny4g
I am sure I am missing something simple here

I can't get the KX3 into transmit using the software for JT65-HF.  I can get the KX3 to transmit using the KX3Util program in PSK RTTY and CW.  This time I have KX3Util not running just JT65-HF.  I am decoding and reading JT65 signals well enough but no transmit.

My setup
Signalink USB with KX3 specific jumper module
TRRS Cable in Mic Jack
Spkr cable connected between SLUSB and KX3 Speaker Jack
I have LPBridge Running to enable Virtual COM Port 99 for SDR display and additional com ports 5, 6 and 11 are open.  LPBridge itself is on physical port COM3

Any help is appreciated

Ariel,

Do you have the KX3 set to DATA A mode?  Do you have 4 to 5 bars
indicated on the ALC meter?
Is the KX3 going into transmit?  If you are trying to use PTT from the
Signalink, do you have the KX3 set to use PTT?  VOX is also usable, but
you must get enough audio into the KX3 to activate it.

You will be using audio tones out of the SignaLink.  The KX3 Utility
does not use the audio path, so that does not compare.

You must have the Signalink set for mic level output.  Set the soundcard
sliders in the computer to about 2/3 of full scale.  Then start out with
the mic gain set at a low value and bring it up until you have 4 bars
solid on the ALC meter with the 5th bar flashing.

Do your adjustments with a dummy load connected so you don't bother your
fellow hams.

73,
Don W3FPR
