K3 PSK31 users

PSK-31 users. Here's one for your notebook. It may save you some consternation.

It had been a few months since I used HRD/DM780 to run PSK31 in DATA A mode on my K3.
Everything seemed to be working fine except I had no output. I checked EVERYTHING, even re-read the manual. PSK31-D worked with the paddle, but not DATA-A.

I was moving the mouse to select the K3 utility to re-load the firmware when I discovered the problem.
The keyboard was hiding it. I had been playing with SDR-IF and had left a pair of headphones plugged into the front jack on the computer (1/8 inch plug). It opened the audio path to the Line-Out jack on the rear of the computer. I unplugged the headphones, and viola'.

You can use the line in/out for PSK in the DATA-A mode.  Then you don't
worry about speakers, headset or microphone.  With the bonus that you don't
have to reset the levels every mode change.
