Got my cable in today to do soundcard data modes on the K3 with a SignaLink
USB
Not much chance of getting the cabling incorrect, installation was uber
easy. I used the rear panel inputs and outputs for the additional
isolation; allowing me to keep the Mic on the front panel for mixed mode
David,
Are you following the instructions in the K3 manual, or are you trying
to follow the wisdom supplied on the internet? The K3 is different
than the internet wisdom transceivers.
The fact that you say the output is not stable leads me to believe you
are trying to use the internet wisdom
David.
I would like to point out that the K3 ALC indicator is also a level
indicator. The onset of ALC begins at the 5ht bar, and bars 1 through 4
do not indicate any ALC action at all. They are more like a VU meter
provided to allow you some metering to help you adjust the audio level.

Absolutely. The K3 Alc is integral to its power regulation and needs to be
set for 4 bars of ALC with the fifth bar flickering. This is also
explained in the K3 operating tips.

I would like this to be set into the manual that the K3 is different
than the conventional wisdom given on the internet. The instructions in
the K3 manual for data modes is to be followed if the expected levels
and power settings ae to be obtained.

I agree...this comes up too often and is vital to the proper operation of
data modes.

Greg,
You are absolutely correct, but other than a general post to the
Elecraft reflector, I do not know how to reach the many K2/K3 users who
do not monitor this reflector and want to try out data modes. The
information that the K2/K3 is different does not seem to appear in the
lists of data
Don speaks with knowledge.
I have my SignaLink setup exactly as he describes, which is exactly
the way the manual instructs you to set up for sound card operation.

One thing that I failed to point out is that if the audio drive is not
set properly, the K3 will power hunt and you will find the SSB or data
modes power to be unpredictable. Use the instructions in he K3 manual
for data modes and the problems will go away.

I've been using my K3/100 with a Signalink USB for nearly 2 years and, once
set correctly, the pair work flawlessly. The instructions for power setting in
digital modes are repeated many times on this reflector and were hard to miss
when I went looking for help. Once you accept that it's the
