reasonable settings for the gain control on t

I've lucky so long that I've totally forgotten that point. It's
really bad when you get old. :-)

you dont need a signal link with the kx3. the all you need is the cables
from elecraft and the usb control cable. and a app like fldigi.
the usb cable does all the ptt and freq control via hamlib. the signal
like is just a middle man that is not needed.

Please read the data operation section of the KX3 manual. You need to
set the Tx audio level so you have 4 bars of ALC, and preferably
flickering the 5th bar.
This is not a misprint.

... I realize that I will still have to adjust the soundcard levels to make the
TX just tick
Ariel,
Nothing wrong with that plan at all. Bond the computer and the KX3
together and power everything from the same AC outlet to minimize common
mode noise problems. If that is not possible, you may have to add
isolation transformers in the audio lines.
See the information provided by Jim
just tickle the ALC. Is
there a flaw in this plan?

Good points Barry, especially about ALC - in data mode, the KX3 will
disable compression and equalization. Use DATA A Mode (or AFSK for
RTTY) with soundcard data. Trying to use SSB mode on the KX3 requires
more attention to compression and equalization.
Note carefully -- for the KX3 (and K3)
Don/Dave,
Let me start with I use a SignalLink USB and the cables supplied
with my Windows7 PC. I find that it is not necessary to do anything to
interface except just plugging in the cables. The SignaLink has its own
sound card and front mounted pots for level adjustments. This

Based on Don's suggestion - it would be easy to make up a dongle that one can
use when working with the KX3 in data or phone modes. Since the mic input has
both audio (left-right channels) and PTT, one can put the resistors Don
suggests in a small project box with the female ends (one for norma
Don,
I wonder if you can sketch out a circuit diagram on your website for newbies to
follow.

When I first tried the digital modes with my KX3 I had mixed results. When the
laptop was plugged in it would not work with any setting on the computer I KX3.
Once I added isolation & attenuation between it was a snap to adjust and get
working. It is best to start with the receiving portion usin
Dave,
It sounds like you are being frustrated by all the choices available.
If you want to end up with Fldigi, I suggest you start with that
application. It is multi-platform and will work the same on a PC or a Mac.
The first thing you need to get a grasp on is the audio levels involved.

Hi folks,
HF Newbie frustrated with PSK-31 setup on my new KX3. I have tried everything
with no joy. I need an ELMER! I've tried so many permutations that all of my
hair has fallen out!
I have PC and Mac laptops, Digipan 2.0, Fldigi, PSKer (for iPad) and am missing
ALL of the basic setup knowle
