David,
The most likely problem is that you have too much output from the sound
card.
Try putting a 10 dB attenuator in the cable between the soundcard and
the KX3 MIC input - 100k in series with 10k from the KX3 end of that
resistor to the shield should do nicely.
The KX3 has an audio protection mechanism that kicks in if there is too
much audio, and that makes the MIC level an unreasonable value.

Hi,
I've just re-acquired a KX3, and have been trying it on JT65.
As per recommendations I have been trying to use Data A mode, but trying to
adjust the drive level is a nightmare, and getting the required 4-5 bars of ALC
has been near impossible. If I switch to USB mode, I can set the drive levels
without issue using the mic gain, and adjusting the sound are levels.
I would have assumed that setting drive levels would be the same in USB mode as
it was in Data A mode. Is this not the case or do I having something else going
on.
