K3 psk31 transmit problems

[kf4clo]

Hi All
 I want to thank everyone for thier help-I still haven't resolved the getting Digipan to key the K3 using the line in-line out,lineout-line in,but I'm still working on it. I am running windows7-Mic sel is line in-messed with the vox gain and the pc speaker volume. I must be missing something. I was wondering if I could use my elecraft cable (the one for K3 utility)? If so wud I need any other software(like rig controll)to make it key the K3? Thanks for your help.

Hi Frank,

Does the K3 show any indication of getting the audio signal from your
computer line out ( or speaker out) cable?  You can put the K3 into TEST
mode and not transmit while you are checking levels. Also you need to
adjust the line in gain of the K3 to show the 4-5 bars on the ALC meter
then set the power control for what ever power you want, like 25 watts.
See the instructions in the manual on how to set this up. It is
different than how to use other radios. I also presume you have selected
line in on the K3 audio source menu.

If you have a working serial cable then you can tell DigiPAN which port
to use and to use RTS or DTR. Then make sure in the K3 you have turned
on PTT for one or both of those two signals. You can test this with the
K3 in TEST mode as well.

I use fldigi and flrig using a serial cable and using PTT via CAT  to
work PSK31. Far more capable program than DigiPAN and pretty easy to
use. Free also. DigiPAN is a really old program though the MixW web site
says a new version is being worked on.

Frank,

Yes, use the same cable that you use for K3 Utility - note which port is
being used.
Tell DigiPan to use either DTR or RTS to key the K3 and tell it which
port to use, then go into the K3 menu for CONFIG PTT -- KEY and set the
PTT to either DTR or RTS (the same as you told DigiPan to use).

The only downside to using DTR or RTS is that when the computer is
started, those lines will be tested and will become active for a short
period - the "cure" is to boot the computer and then turn on the K3.
