K3 data mode fail

W5GAI
While using my K3 in data A mode with wsjt-x software on 6M, TX stopped,
and other data modes also have no TX output. RX remains OK, and CW and SSB
TX & RX still work OK.
  Need suggestions on diagnosis or reset process. Direct replies off list
are OK. Thanks, Skip W5GAI

VOX settings?  Level changes?  Windoze updates screwing with sound card
settings or choices?

Skip,

Check your soundcard cable to your Line-in jack.  I had the same problem
occur several times before I discovered the problem was the cable.  I
pressed on it at the line in jack while testing and the power out came
back up.  Same symptoms: no output, RX signals OK, CW and SSB OK.
Replaced the cable and everything FB now.

Skip,

Make certain the K3 is getting audio into the Line In jack.
Pull the speaker or Line Out cable from your soundcard and plug
headphones or amplified computer speakers into that soundcard jack.
Then do a TX from your software application.  Do you hear any audio
tones?  If not, check the computer/soundcard.

If audio there, plug in the cable to the K3 Line In making sure the
plugs are fully seated on each end.  You could have a bad cable.
Since you have good audio to the computer on RX, swap the two audio
cables between the soundcard and the K3.  If you have an OK waterfall
display, the cable between K3 Line Out and soundcard line in (mic) is
working.

If you still have problems, contact [hidden email] for further
analysis.
