fldigi, SignaLink - problems

[Richard W Hemingway]

Hi,

Mr K3 has arrived!!!  So far everything has gone well, except one thing. I am using a SignaLink USB, as I had one and used it on my formeer radio.  I have the new cord and jumper wire card installed. It is connected to the wire in, wire out, and PTT on the radio and into the SL, thence into the computer.  I have changed Hamlib to K3 in the configure box.  I received just fine, but when I try to send it lights up the PTT light in the Sl and the TX light on the K3, but no signal. The K3 mode is set on USB, but the same result on Data>  I know that I am doing something wrong.  Helpl!

Dick, N5XRD

Try this.  Go to "Data A" mode.  Set main menu "Mic Sel" to "Line In".  Adjust the "Mic" control to set line in gain up.

Make sure you're connected properly with Line In and Out.  Set the MIC
SEL to the correct input (Line In) while in TX DATA mode.

Dick,

Did you connect the SignaLink to the microphone input or the Line Input
of the K3?
If you are using Line Input, you will have to reconfigure the SignaLink
for Line level output - see the SignaLink instructions - as I recall it
is a jumper inside that must be changed.

Once you get the output of the SignaLink correct, use DATA A submode
with the MIC SEL menu set to whichever input you are using.  Then adjust
the audio drive and the K3 "Mic" gain to produce 4 bars steady on the K3
ALC meter with the 5th bar blinking.  Note that this is NO ALC for the
K3 in data mode.

You can do the setup in TX TEST so you do not bother your fellow hams
with a signal on the air.
