Hi Stan, I had the same problem; but fixed it by turning ""ON"" the SignLink and disconnecting the cable used for updates from your computer..Let me know if that works. 73 ken VE3YK

The cables from the SignalLink are plugged into line in, line out and PTT on the back of the K3. Things seem to work fine in digital modes, although I have actually only tried the combination on PSK31. When I switch to SSB, however, I am getting reports of distorted audio, and when I monitor my audio I can hear it too. One contact said it sounded like the opposite sideband not being suppressed enough and slightly delayed. I have tried the following to solve the audio problem: 1. Turning off the SignalLink when I am in SSB mode. In this case, in addition to the above-mentioned distortion, I get an audio tone on my voice signal which can be heard by whomever I am talking to. 2. Disconnecting the cables at the SignalLink but leaving them plugged into line in, line out and PTT at the back of the K3 when in SSB. This does not fix the problem. 3. Disconnecting the cables at the back of the K3 - line in, line out, PTT. This solves the problem and I again receive reports of "great audio" as I always have. It seems like the above symptoms could indicate an "RF in the shack" problem though I have not had any RF problems in the past. My K-Line (K3, P3, KPA500) is all connected together with grounding strap, however the SignalLink box has no grounding port, so it is not connected to the other equipment other than with the signal and PTT cables, nor is my computer connected to the K-Line with grounding strap since it is about five feet away from the K-Line. My CONFIG: LIN OUT setting on the K3 is NOR 010, and I am running the latest firmware, 4.83/2.82. I hope there is a simple solution to this problem, and while it would be embarrassing, operator error is certainly not out of the question in my mind. I am very new to digital modes and this is my first try with the K3. My last excursion into this domain was in 2009 when I made a few PSK31 QSOs with my TS-850 and Digipan. Thanks for your help.
