I have also been disappointed with the internal sound card in the K3S as
compared to just using the internal sound card in my Lenovo laptop with my
original K3.
There is natural interaction between the K3S level (mic) control and the sound
card level but it's a hair triggered operation to get

I am sorry if I mislead anyone by my prior response. I initially
thought that the poster could not achieve 4 bars or 5 bars on the ALC
meter. But after several emails, I realized that he was skipping from 3
bars to 5 bars with slight changes in the LINE IN gain.
Normally, I recommend that
I had exactly this problem with my K3 and Mac. I reduced the
output level from the Mac using the Sound system control panel,
which gave me finer control at the K3. If you run Windows or
Linux the control will have a different name.

Open the soundcard controls for the USB CODEC in your computer and
increase the "Speaker" or Line Out slider.

One caveat here... if you happen to set the ALC levels for low freq
tones, say 600 Hz, then end up using 2150 Hz, that level may very well
be well off, overdriving or underdriving while the radio tries to
compensate with varying power levels or accidental distortion. So one
should be cautious
Don knows this, so this is for those reading along.
Traditionally, a teletype Terminal Unit (TU) generates two tones: "mark"
at 2125 Hz and "space" at 2295 (170 Hz shift -- other shifts are
possible, but this is the main one).
Put a (clean) 2125 Hz tone into a SSB transmitter on Lower
Some data mode applications will do RTTY in USB by inverting the
mark/space. If using one of those, stay in DATA A submode for RTTY.
But do follow the instructions in the documentation for the software you
are using. Most DATA modes (other than RTTY) will operate from a
waterfall display
This is grossly oversimplified, but it's a place to start: the software
makes noises, the transmitter transmits them, the remote receiver
receives them, and the software at the other end turns them back into
letters on the screen.
Different noises for RTTY, PSK-31, Olivia, Throb,
Low Space Means Fine Teletype
Last time I ran RTTY I used a HAL-5000 and a 28KSR, so I'm a little
rusty, but I believe that nearly all sound card software can "flip" mark
and space so USB will work.
I like PSK-31 a lot.

2) For RTTY,
I should add one thing which is not always obvious to new users of data

You have to tell the software which COM port to use for rig control qnd
proper display of the frequency.
You also have to tell the software which soundcard you are using for the
data mode audio.
For details
Don and Ronnie,
Let me see if I can help by pointing out the differences between the
Elecraft transceivers K3, K3S, KX2 and KX3 and other transceivers in the
use of data modes.
The following points are directed at soundcard oriented data modes.
1) Use DATA A instead of the normally
OOPs! Brain Cramp. The mode should be data a not digital a. Sorry for
the confusion

The biggest problem is that there are several right answers.
I can't give you a K3S cookbook because I have a KX3, but I can nudge
you in the right general direction.
If you don't mind using a computer, then ignore the "paddle" methods.

I recently upgraded my K3 by adding the KIO3BUPKT KIO3B Upgrade Kit for K3. I
would love to start working digital. I’m a total and complete newbie at
digital. I need someone who is willing to walk me through step by step in
setting this up.
I’m primarily interested in RTTY only.
