Signalink USB not ALC bars

VE3WDM

On my K3 I am not getting ALC at all showing on the meter. The signalink
 goes into transmit and my K3 goes into transmit. I am showing on my
LP-100A an SWR and power going out to the antenna.



I have the Signalink USB and attempting to use it with my Elecraft K3.

I am using:

K3

The K3 inter connecting cable supplied by Tigertronics

HRD V5.0 build 2321 Digital Mater 780

K3 and HRD are connected  through LP-Bridge



What I have done:

The computer (WINXP) has recognized the USB Signalink and has installed it.

The sound and audio devices have been left with the on board PC sound
card I also have tried changing them to the CODEC signalink card as
well.

I have turned off the Windows sound effects...just for the reason they bother me.

The properties of the Windows volume control have been set to CODEC in Mixer device and adjust volume is set to playback.

In Digital Master I have set it up according to the Tigertronics
website. I have set the PTT to None and under sound card. Input Receive
is set to CODEC and output I checked the "Use input device"

The settings on the K3 are as follows

Data A is the mode

Mic gain is set to 50

Line in is set to 10

RF power is set to 100 watts



Here is what I have tried:

Changing the the K3 to Data PSK31 but that did not get me any ALC.

Turning up the Mic gain no ALC

Turning up the Line in all the way but no ALC



So I am not sure what to try next......

Did you set the K3 to use the rear connector in DATA A mode?

Mike, the ALC depends on the audio going from computer to K3, not the other
way.

Temporarily unplug the cable going into the computer's speaker-out jack and
transmit something. Make sure there is audio coming out (unmute speakers if
they are muted) and turn up speaker-out audio to about 80.
