K3 FT8

I am trying to get FT8 running on my K3 using Rig blaster advantage.
Everything works except no transmit RF output.

Enable TX puts K3 into transmit but no RFoutput. Have tried adjusting RBA
xmit level and K3 mic output. No joy.

.Anyone able to share their PTT settings.

Thanks,

Joe K2UF

I am running with no interface, an d all works well here. You might
consider re-configuring to not use the Rigblaster.

Joe,

Do you have the audio levels set right for transmit?
Go to my webpage www.w3fpr.com and look at the last article in the left
column.

Personally (and this varies with every setup) I usually run with the sound
card output level about 1/3 of the way, the level in WSJT-X about 1/3 of
the way up then adjust the mic (line-in) to get the 4 bars plus a flicker
level on the ALC meter. You do not want any of the levels to be too near
either end of the scale for best linearity. So my mic level usually ends up
at 20 to 30.

Not just the levels but the right input source on the K3?
