Need information

Richard W Hemingway
Hi, I am new to the list and need some information.  I have a K3S which I think is great, however, I  have a  problem.  I mostly operate PSK.  I do  this through fldigi  in a computer (Mac) and with SignaLink USB.  However I have been unable to TX to the K3S  with Fldigi (also with Coco Modem).  It won't make the red TX light come on or TX,  I also have tried using only USB with the same results.  With USB the receive comes on so faint that I can barely see it, and the TX is not accepted by the K3S. I don't know why the K3S is unable to accept the TXin either case.  Any ideas?  I am thinking that it may be something that I have set in the K3S?
A secondary poblem is that   when I go to the rig Cat xml files to download the K3 file for the rig description in the confirmation  of the Rig Description for Rig Cat, the only thing that I get is a bunch of words at the top of the page. I don't know how to download it in a form that I can use. ??
Any help would be appreciated.

Why are you using SignaLink, and not the built-in USB sound card in the
K3s? I sold the SignaLink I used with a KX3 when I bought the K3s a
couple of months ago.

I use FLDigi with the K3s sound card, and it works perfectly. The only
thing I need to do is remember to hold the VOX button to turn on VOX, so
the xmit audio keys the transmitter. My MENU: VOX GN is set to 10.

Tap MODE to select DATA. For PSK-31 (vs. RTTY), be sure to hold DATA MD
and select DATA-A, not AFSK-A, with the VFO B knob.

Adjust the MIC knob for LINE 5 input level.

I don't recall setting any audio level for the USB sound card, but that
can be set in FLDigi (I think).

Hope this helps.
