K3 - PSK31

GD,

Hope this is right Email address.

I apparently have something set wrong on my K3 for PSK31.

Am using HRD & microKEYER (interfact)

Have no problem RX'ing

TX'ing seems to output as see TX on water fall and on Watt Meter
however people locally don't see anything from me.

K3 is in PSK31 mode.

Obviously something is off, but it has been so long since I setup/used
PSK31 I am lost.

73, Chuck N7BV

Re: K3 - PSK31

Chuck,

It is the right address for the Elecraft Email Reflector.

Are you using DATA A mode? If not you should be.
Do you have audio sufficient to drive the ALC meter up to 4 bars solid
with the 5th bar flashing?

For more details go to my website www.w3fpr.com and scroll down to the
last article in the left column - click for the link.

73,
Don W3FPR

See the example configuration for microKEYER (or microKEYER II as
appropriate) at www.microHAM-USA.com/Support.html. In addition to
following the example for your particular software, you will want
to set up transmit audio levels in your sound card and microKEYER
(or microKEYER II) as documented in the "Setting Audio Levels"
section of your interface's Users Manual.

The K3 should be in DATA -> DATA_A. MENU:MIC SEL should be set
to LINE IN and the mic gain set to between 15 and 20 (as needed
to achieve 4 bars of ALC *regardless of power output*). Power
output should be controlled with the PWR control - typically for
PSK31 you would not want to show more than 40 Watts during data
transmission - although that might be 100 W on a single tone (PEP)
due to the high peak to average ratio of PSK31/63/125.

73,

Thank you Joe & Don for the help.

I had forgotten about how critical balancing the soundcard levels.

Tks. 73, Chuck N7BV
