Andy,
I did not see any response on the reflector, so I will try.
First of all, you need a soundcard. If you have installed the KIO3B in
that K3, there is an internal soundcard in the K3 that can e used.
If the KIO3 has not been upgraded, you will need a soundcard external to
the K3. Either an internal computer soundcard or an external one.
The computer must send audio to the K3 Line input and receive audio from
the Line Out of the K3.
HRD (or Win4K3 or other applications) will provide rig control functions
without the audio paths.
For instance, PSK31 (and other data modes) sends audio tones to the K3
via the computer soundcard, and receives audio tones from the K3 for
decoding.
Set the K3 to DATA A submode (AFSK A for RTTY), and during receive,
adjust the computer Line In (or Mic) level to give you a good waterfall
display. You can also adjust the LINE OUT level in the K3 menu.
For transmit, adjust the soundcard Line Out (or Speaker) slider to about
75% of full and then in the K3, set the MIC SEL menu to LINE and adjust
the "MIC GAIN" (actually LINE IN gain) so you have 4 bars illuminated
solid on the K3 ALC display with the 5th bar flashing.
Adjust the desired power level with the K3 power knob.
Ignore the internet advice (and some software applications) to set the
power to max and adjust the power output with the audio level - that
does not work well with Elecraft gear. That advice is for other
transceivers which do not control the power output by actually measuring
the power level and making adjustments to make the power equal to the
requested power level. Use the instructions in the K3 manual -
paraphrased above.

I've really been enjoying my new used K3. I installed the KPA3A in it and have
been very active on the CW bands.
My question is this. I can't get psk 31 to work in my HRD...either in
conjunction with Win4k3 or by itself. It works fine with Win4K3 by itself but I
want the nice HRD waterfall display. I don't use the sound card, right? Just
the port connection from the rig to the computer. I've followed..carefully..the
directions in the Win4k3 help for connecting to HRD but I can't even get HRD
standalone to give me any out put. There has to be some box I'm not checking or
shouldn't be checking or just something I'm not understanding. Remember...the
keyboard works perfectly in Win4k3 terminal in either cw mode or psk. Any help
is much appreciated.
