K3 No Transmit When WAV File Is Played

[Bud Governale, W3LL]

When I hit a function key in N1MM the correct wav file plays as heard thru the computer speakers.

However the K3 (in SSB mode) does not transmit.

Any suggestions?

Hi Bud,

I'll assume that you have a cable from PC audio out to the K3 Line In.

Are you using VOX or are you sending a serial signal from your PC to K3 to transmit. If VOX be sure VOX is on.

Make sure MENU:MIC+LIN is ON

Go into the MENU:MIC SEL and chose LINE IN. Put the K3 into test mode or run it into a dummy load. Put the K3 into transmit manually with the XMIT button. Adjust the MIC knob for proper ALC levels on the K3. (You may also have to adjust the line out level on your PC). After you have completed the level adjustment remember to turn the MENU:MIC SEL back to your normal microphone input (front or rear).

Bud,

Are you using a microphone connected to the computer - so the same audio
path is used for the microphone and the WAV file output?

If you prefer a microphone connected directly to the K3, then you will
have to set the K3 to MIC+LINE and plug the soundcard output to the K3
Line In jack.
Adjust the soundcard output to adequately drive the K3 ALC meter (you
can do that in TX TEST so no signal is transmitted).  Drive the ALC
meter to the same level as you get from the microphone - it should be 5
to 7 bars.
