K3 with KIO3B and RMS Express

jreedbum
I'm having trouble getting RMS Express to transmit. I've tried various
combinations of RTS PTT settings and am using the digital setting in the
RMS software. The transmit light goes on but no power out and failure to
connect.
Do I need to use port share software with the KIO3B?  Is there another
setting I'm overlooking?
Thanks for any insights.

Are you seeing four bars of ALC?   It sounds like you do not
have the audio levels set correctly.

Use DATA A, set MENU:MIC+LIN = OFF and MENU:MIC SEL=LINE IN.
Set your software TX level at about 80%, set the Windows Volume
Mixer for your sound card output "Speaker (USB Audio CODEC)" at
80%, adjust the K3/K3S Mic Gain for four bars of ALC and set the
output power level using the PWR control.
