I suggest connecting the radio to the computer via the single USB
cable. It handles the audio and the radio commands for CAT control.
The SignaLink USB is not needed nor preferred in this case. Configure
the FLDIGI application through the various menus in the software for the
radio using the HAMLIB menu in the application.
Yep, assuredly he receiver audio was being heard by the mike in the
computer.

I think I may just be overcome by an embarrassment of riches. I have
recently acquired a K3 and the serial to USB cable to run the utility program.
I would like to try digital -- particularly PSK31 -- which I now do with
IC7000 and Signalink TNC. I have been using FLDIGI satisfactorily. My
question is whether (1) I should try to run FLDIGI with my K3 directly through
the RS232/USB cable, (2) should I get the cable and jumper card for K3 for
the Signalink, (3) should I get the "tridentate" cable set to connect with
the K3 using the line-in/line-out/ptt connections on the back?
An amusing side thing: I had my K3 tuned to 14.070 upper side band and I
booted up FLDIGI on my laptop with no physical connection between them. To my
amazement, I saw a waterfall display and, when I placed the cursor on a
nice strong signal, I saw decoded text. I can only assume that the laptop's
microphone was open and FLDIGI picked it up from the audio output of my
radio. Alternatively, it may have been an occult message to me that I need to
better understand the mechanics of digital :-}
TNX for any advice especially if I can understand it. VY 73 de W3UEC
