Not new so far as I know, Jim. I've been doing
that with usb audio devices for some years.
But I must admit I've never operated WSJT-X. And
when I use PSK31 I use Windows, due to the wider
availability of ham radio software. My shack
operating computer is an old 2010 11" MacBook Air,

I found the SignaLink USB VOX based PTT to be very reliable.
When I am using a SignaLink, I can always know my computer is
transmitting by hearing the relay click in the SignaLink. When I
had it connected to the PTT of the K3, it was 100% reliable.

Phil,
Is this something new with El Capitan? I’ve always been making settings changes
in the MIDI application. Anyway, I gave it a try and set USB Audio CODEC as the
output device. Fired up WSJT-X and answered a CQ. It keyed the K3 for about
five seconds and then the audio started coming out
Adding to what I said below: You do System
Preferences > Sound > Input if you want your audio
input to come from an external USB device (Griffin
iMic, SignalinkUSB, K3s, etc.).
I am running OS X 10.11.5 and just tested this
with an iMic I happened to have with me.

Jim (and perhaps Dick),
Then go to System Preferences > Sound > Output and
select the external USB device you want the as the
destination for your audio output. You have to do
this in OS X, not in the application software.

By any chance have you in the past few weeks upgraded your mac to El Capitan? I
had a working system (K3, FLDIGI, WSJT-X) and silly me, upgraded to El Capitan

through one USB cable.

I STRONGLY suggest that you do NOT rely on the PTT from the SignaLink at

audio drive of the SLUSB to trip it's VOX, which is still not reliable.
If you cannot use a CAT (computer) for PTT, then the rig VOX is your

Isn't it "fun"?
You purchase a new, highly touted rig that will do it all (I'm NOT sayin'
Elecraft touts that...well, maybe they do that a little) and then you find
lots of problems interfacing it with other ancillary equipment (ASSUMING it

Dick,
Do you have sound coming out of the SignaLink? Connect it to an audio
amplifier and listen - if you hear tones, things should work.
If the SignaLink produces tones, does it activate the PTT output - test
with your ohmmeter, it should measure a very high resistance (even
infinity) with
Hi,
I am about to give up on my K3S and PSK with my Fldigi on my Mac computer. I
am unable to connect either with the SignaLink or with a straight USK
connection. Neither will cause the TX light to come on or TX! I have never
had t his problem before on any of my Rigs, or before when I
