Jay,
     If you are in data A mode, the easiest thing to do is just turn on
your VOX. The tones will turn your transmitter on. Just make sure you
set the mike/line in setting so that there are 4 bars of ALC showing and
a 5th just flickering. You may need to adjust the VOX gain, but it
should work well this way. This is what I do and have had no problems.

Jay,

Do you have the soundcard (AUDIO CODEC) properly defined as the
soundcard in your application software?  That is the 1st step to check.

Secondly, are you driving the soundcard output audio to a sufficient
level to illuminate 4 bars solid on the ALC meter with the 5th bar
flashing?  Depending on what digital modes you are using, you may have
up to 3 controls for the transmit audio level.

Take a look at my website www.w3fpr.com article on this subject.  Scroll
to the last article in the left column and click to view the document.
Ignore the common internet advice - Elecraft transceivers control power
differently than other amateur transceivers.

Are you using DATA A for most daata modes and AFSK A for RTTY?

Have you made sure there is *nothing* connected to the Line In jack?

Have you confirmed that MENU:MIC+LINE = OFF?

*AFTER* selecting DATA A/FSK A have you set MENU:MIC SEL = Line In?

*AFTER* selecting DATA A/AFSK A have you adjusted the mic gain for
*FOUR BARS* of ALC?  The Mic Gain control is "overloaded."  The
Line In defaults to *0* and can not be adjusted until you have
selected DATA A/AFSK A.

Finally, in AFSK A if CONFIG:AFSK TX = FIL ON, make sure that the
MARK frequency in MMTTY is the same as PITCH and do not tune by
"clicking in the waterfall".

[K9FD]

Two Questions,
Anyone have a 1KHZ filter they are parting with?
Looking for a fair priced 1KHZ.

Second,  is anyone using a W8ZR station Pro 2 with the K3?
Just bought a station Pro2 and wanting to set it up for my
multiple k3 set up.   Looking to run USB through the Pro2
to switch to each radio.  Anyone done that?

Thank 73 Merv K9FD
