Question on K3 (upgraded) and FT8 setup

I have a K3 that I've upgraded to a K3S with the synthesizers and the KIO3B
kit.

I set up the WSTJ software and K3 by following K8ZT's procedure
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-yBKo9Fr1NmwG4AaV0jiI6LbtiMysYGVLPqw2LDG
8kM/edit#

Receive works great but when I try to transmit a tone using the "tune"
button on the WSTJ software I get the PTT signal of no tone (audio).
I have a feeling that there is a K3 menu that is not set correctly.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The document does not exist. Have you:

1) made sure there is no plug connected to the KIO3B "Line In" jack?
2) selected DATA | DATA A mode?
3) selected MENU:MIC SEL = Line Lin
4) Adjusted the mic gain for 4 to 5 bars of ALC *AFTER* setting
MENU:MIC SEL = Line In?
5) Confirmed that WSJT-X Soundcard Output is set to "Speaker (USB
Audio CODEC) that represents the KIO3B sound card?
6) Confirmed that the Windows Audio Mixer controls for "Speaker
(USB Audio CODEC) that represents the KIO3B sound card is not
muted?

Thanks Joe!
It was item #1. Ironically my Microkeyer II was plugged into "line in"
I would have lost some more hair (that I don't have) finding that one.
Thanks

You could certainly have configured WSJT-X to use your MK II by
following the example in:
<http://www.microham.com/Downloads/MK2_WSJT-X_Setup.pdf>

Connecting any plug to the KIO3B "Line In" jack disconnects the output
from the sound card on the KIO3B board.
