I don't get it, when you are in DATA mode it takes the Line In signal and ignores the microphone input if you've configured the rig correctly, any input on the Microphone line should be completely ignored and VOX should work 100%.
Still, on the K3 there is absolutely no need for any external interface like SignaLink (unless you just want to use it for it's built in USB sound card, but there are many cheaper options available), just hook up the K3 to the PC with standard audio cables and a serial cable/USB-serial converter, and use soft-keying (available with fldigi and hopefully other decent digimode programs), this also gives you full rig control... 73, Thomas M0TRN On 26 January 2012 14:48, Mike <n...@nf4l.com> wrote: > I have an ongoing, long standing problem with using VOX to key the K3 in > Data mode. > > My sound card is a Creative USB dongle.
