I have tried every way possible to this point. When I have CAT
selected I get a green test cat button, pushing it does nothing but turn
it white then after a few seconds it goes to green. Pushing test PTT
keys the rig, the button turns RED and I see no signal going out of the
radio. Choosing the VOX setting does nothing apparently. PTT is grayed
out and the test button does nothing and stays white. My CAT controls
are set like yours are.
ARRRRRG!
I REALLY appreciate everyone's help and patiences so far.

Sorry, yes, I shouldn't have added in the SignaLink comment in my
reply as that's not the problem.
In the PTT Method portion of the Radio dialog box is the PTT Method
set to "CAT" instead of "VOX"?
To clarify, the Port drop-down in the PTT Method portion of the Radio
settings tab is only enabled when you select DTR or RTS.
If I select either of these and select COM7 for my KX2 cable I can
successfully "Test CAT" but "Test PTT" does not key the radio.
If I select VOX "Test CAT" will work but "Test PTT" is greyed out (not
an option.)
If I select CAT both "Test CAT" functions and "Test PTT" keys the radio.
My settings for CAT Control are:
Serial Port: COM7
Baud rate: 38400 (matches the radio)
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 2
Handshake: None
Force Contol Lines: DTR and RTS are blank

Tim,
My KX2 utility is not running. I unplugged the signalink USB
cable and replugged it in and the "Test cat" turns green. However,
when I hit that button it turns white then after a few seconds
turns green again but the radio does NOT key.
In my device manager I see a com3 and this shows up in WSJT-X but
when selected it still doesn't work.
This is insane. I'm receiving and decoding fine now, it's just the
transmit now that's my problem.

Yes, I am using the KX2 USB cable and it shows up on COM7 in
my PC and yes,
the 3.5mm plug is in the ACC jack on the radio.
I was re-reading the thread and noticed that earlier in the
thread KN3ILZ
outlined the steps to configure. Your response of only USB in
the Serial
Port drop-down indicates that WSJT-X doesn't see the KX2 USB
cable. I had
this happen to me until I realized that I still had the KX2
utility app
running. It had the com port. Once I shut that down the com
port was freed
and COM7 showed up in the Serial Port drop-down in WSJT-X. Is
the KX2
utility app still running on your PC?
On the File\Settings\Radio tab I have selected the rig as
Elecraft K3/KX3
the serial port as COM7 and my PTT Method is CAT, not VOX.
As KN3ILZ said, click the Test CAT button and if it turns
green it's
configured properly.
I have the jumpers and cables for the SignaLink USB to KX2 as
well. I've
just never used them. If this hasn't solved the problem I can
try it out
with my SignaLink USB when I get home.
