In case anyone was wondering, I suspect this is a failing of Mac OS X
and USB audio. After conversations with Mac and Apple developers about
the state of USB audio as of Yosemite (and even worse, in El Capitan) I
decided to use a different OS. I'm now running a brand-new $349 HP
laptop and WSJT-X ran fine last night in Win 10 and Ubuntu. It's not an
ideal choice, but having the audio quit in the middle of a conversation
was a deal breaker.
I could go on about OS X Bluetooth issues after Snow Leopard but that's
a different off-topic story.

Odd. I got the SignaLink to work, and then the K3S worked fine.

Oh, good idea. I forgot I have a Signalink somewhere.

Hisashi,
I suspect the computer or the software application.
Do a test - connect a USB soundcard to your computer and tell WSJT-X and
JT65 to use that soundcard.
Connect the output of the soundcard to an amplifier or headphones and
listen to the audio as the application "transmits".

Now I think it's the WSJT-X software rather than the radio because I can
get JT65 to work for a while and then it stops sending audio to the K3.
Fortunately it hasn't stopped in the middle of a QSO, but only in
between.
It could be somehow messing with the settings, but I really don't know
how I'd check to see if the USB audio is making it to the radio. Power
cycling the radio doesn't help. I suppose I could keep rebooting the
laptop but that's a bit painful as well.
Anyone have any more hints?

Setting up wsjt-x on the Mac is not as straightforward as the
instructions say.* In any case, I think I have it decoding now but now I
have to figure out how to get audio from my Mac to the K3.
Am I right in thinking that the audio TO the K3 should go through USB as
well?
Any other tricks I should know about?
*The instructions say move the app ANYWHERE but the kvasd installer only
works if you put the application into /Applications and not in a "Ham
Radio" Folder. It's probably the space in the filename, now that I
think of it.
