Adjust the K3's ALC bars and power output as described in the K3 manual, not the way that the Signalink instructions say. The K3 is different from other transceivers in that the output power should not be governed by drive, but rather by its internal power-management scheme. The K3 does not require an interface to do AFSK, PSK, WSPR, JT-65 or any other digital mode. You can get good results just with two cables, because the K3 has isolation transformers built in. After you get everything going, you can then insert the Signalink into the loop. It has its own sound card, which will probably do a better job than the one in your PC in terms of S/N ratio on weak signals. The process will be easier after you've shaken things down without the additional complexity of the external interface. When the Signalink is in the loop, you still want to adjust the ALC and power as explained by the K3 manual. 73, Tony KT0NY -- http://www.isb.edu/faculty/facultydir.aspx?ddlFaculty=352 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
