Gerald,

The Signalink is nothing more than a soundcard.
Have you plugged the Signalink output into the Line-in jack on the K3?
Make certain the plug is fully inserted.
Then go into DATA A mode and set the MIC SEL menu to LINE.
Adjust the MIC Gain (now LINE IN gain) to produce 4 bars solid with the
5th bar flashing on the ALC meter - You can do that is TX TEST mode so
you do not transmit RF.
If the MIC GAIN is 'touchy' and at a very low level, go to the computer
and adjust the soundcard level lower.  Normally a soundcard level of
about 75% is workable - too low and the S/N ratio is bad and too high
the soundcard can overload.

Gerald,
I assume you are using MRP40 to decode CW. Are you saying that it does not decode at all? Or just some of the time? What are your settings on the Signal Link and in the MRP40 software tab for the Soundcard? 73, Charles N2SO

Hi I just looked at the manual.The mrp40 will use SSB for CW transmission or DATA A with a signal link.  Since you say it works in DATA A that is how it works. If you wish true CW they give a link to use the key circuit with a hardware adapter.73 Tom va2fsq.com

Has anyone used MRP40 with success with the K3 or with a K3 and signalink
usb?
I have tried and tried to get this to work.
It will key the signalink and will key the radio, but no output or audio is
transmitted.
Sending the audio to my speakers works, but not to the radio.
I have set jumper jp2 and jp3 to on which raises the output level of the
signalink.
I have adjusted the windows audio level and still nothing.

So any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank
