K3 and Signalink USB

Hi,

I think that I may have messed up and it got away from me. What I was asking is whether any of you are using SignaLink USB. Where do the cables plug in on the back of the K3. Do you have to turn on Data or can you use SSB? I have written to SignaLink but have not received an answer. I know that you don't have to use SL for PSK, and I may not go that way, but I have it for the rig I just sold and Would like to use it if I can.

Dick, N5XRD

Re: K3 and Signalink USB

I'm using the SignaLink USB. SignaLink sells various cables to hook up to different radios. You need to get the cable part no. SLCABK3. It plugs into the line input, line output and PTT input jacks on the back of the K3. In addition, you will reconfigure some jumper wires inside the SignaLink USB. Instructions come with the cable.

Re: K3 and Signalink USB

And always best to use Data-A for data modes via soundcard (or AFSK-A
for RTTY). This will help with a clean signal by keeping compression
turned off to avoid over-driving the audio chain.

Re: K3 and Signalink USB

When I use Data-A on the KX3, FLDIGI shows the incorrect operating frequency and I don't know how to fix that. The frequency is correct when I use the side band.

Re: K3 and Signalink USB

I seem to recall having a similar problem with FLDIGI. I think there is
a checkbox to always use USB that I had to check to get the frequency to
display correctly using DATA-A mode.
