As a K3 newbie here, would the mic impedance (H or L) be a possible issue? I
could not get any ALC movement until I went to H impedance for the Heil
headset I have. I was then able to get all the ALC needed with the mic gain.

...just a thought

Ron,
Try in TX TEST mode - everything goes into transmit except there is no RF
output.
Adjust the audio level (both SignaLink and the "mic' gain on the K3) to
obtain 4 bars solid on the ALC meter with the 5th bar flickering.
If you are not able to obtain that level, check the SignaLink
documentation to determine how to plug it for Line level audio output - I
believe it is a jumper, but the default position is for low level output
(mic level).
Once you are able to obtain the proper deflection on the ALC meter, get
out of TX Test and try it. You should have RF output.

into
transmit mode, the macro runs but no power out. Adjusting the TX pot on
the
Signalink does not make a difference. I can receive Ok. But either the
soundcard is not outputting anything or I missed a step in the setup.
Config.Lineout is 10 as recommended VOX/No VOX does not seem to matter.
Rig
is in Data A mode. I must be missing a step in set up.
Suggestions welcome.
