K3 and Fldigi CW

[pastormg]

Good Morning.  I downloaded and installed Fldigi last evening and have the k3.xml file installed for the rig interface.  The only problem is that when I switch to cw on my K3 and then change Fldigi to cw the program will not decode the code received.  But if I switch the K3 to data then Fldigi to cw then the program will decode the cw. I know this can't be the way that it should be, but don't know enough about Fldigi to make the necessary changes in setup.  Plus if I try to send anything with the K3 in data it will transmit in the mode that I have picked which is PSK31.  Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.  Thanks!!  Mark KB3Z

Check that you're sending enough audio (are you using the line out
connection from the k3?) to the soundcard without overloading it.

If you plan to use Fldigi also to send CW, you need to keep the K3 in
data mode A (must appear as PKTUSB in fldigi mode selection). Fldigi can
only generate an audio tone, the same as with any other digimode.
There actually is a way to key the radio on the key line, it involves
some additional circuitry, and is described in the help pages of fldigi,
but in the end the audio keying works fine.

Mark,

Fldigi uses the soundcard audio for most everything it does, so put the
K3 into DATA A mode when working with fldigi and all will be well.
