K3 FT8 Help

[Rich-4]

I am at a loss on this one.   I have reviewed several online writeups on
the matter but I am still stuck.

I am making these assumptions,  the K3s USB port can handle the audio
in/out, rig control and PTT.

I have the following settings.

Audio IN set to K3 audio in USB codec  -  FT8 decodes fine

Audio OUT set to K3 audio out USB codec - no audio on TX

Rig Ctrl set to COM 10 - rig control is working fine.

PTT Com10 -  not sure exactly which setting to use  CAT, DTR, RTS,

The radio will TX but I have no indication of any power out, which I
guess is due to no audio OUT.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Please respond direct to keep from cluttering the list

Thanks

Rich

Rich,

Online "answers" that are not K3 specific are often incorrect.
You must drive the audio so that you have 4 bars shown on the ALC mater
with the 5th bar flashing.  That is the NO ALC point for the K3/K3S/KX3/KX2.

Once you have achieved that condition, leave the audio level fixed and
adjust the desired power level with the power knob.

There is an article dealing with this subject on my website www.w3fpr.com.
