A few brief and random thoughts… You say the CAT control is working...Does the KX3 actually go into TX mode in FT8, or does it just sit there? Are you keying the rig via CAT, or via VOX and if VOX, is it enabled and levels adjusted?
You say it works in SSB…when you reconnected it to your PC sound card did you remember to turn mic bias off? Is the KX3 in DATA mode or are you using sideband? If using sideband, did you remember to turn the MIC BTN setting off? Actually it’s maybe a good idea to turn this off either way. If it goes into TX mode with FT8, then what is the ALC level? Are you seeing any on the meter? 73, Dave - N5DCH > On Jun 6, 2022, at 1:59 PM, Jim Ruff via Elecraft <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> > wrote: > > I got my KX3 out that I haven't used in almost a year to get ready for Field > Day and I can't get it to TX when using FT8.
