K3 keying AFSK?

[N8VCF]

I recently purchased a new to me K3 which I am in the learning curve. I am trying to get the K3 to key RTTY in AFSK mode and not having any luck. I have Fred's book and have followed the steps with still no keying. I am using DM-780.  VOX is on, sound set correct (I think). Anyone have any idea of what I am missing? I would like to get this working for FD.

Richard,

What do you have set as the keying method in DM-780? I use it extensively
and have never had an issue. I believe I have it set to use HRD keying,
which does not require the use of vox for keying.

Hope this helps.

Can you decode RTTY signals?  If not, get that working as a first step.

Is the soundcard device selected in HRD the same one that is connected
to the K3 Line-In and Line Out jacks?  The soundcard LINE OUT (or SPKR)
should connect to the K3 LINE IN.
Do you have the computer soundcard output level sliders set to 75% or
greater?
Set the MIC SEL in the K3 menu to LINEIN.
Adjust the K3 "MIC LEVEL" (actually the Line-in level) so you have 4
bars solid with the 5th bar flashing on the ALC meter.
Turn on VOX and it should transmit.
