Hi! I got the below advice which worked for me: For WSJT-X and the K3S use:
Mode = DATA Data sub-mode = DATA A MENU:MIC SEL = Line IN Make sure nothing is
plugged into the "LINE IN" jack. Set the PWR slider in WSJT-X to the top, click
Tune and adjust the K3 MIC GAIN for *four bars* of ALC.
OK - thanks Rich, Don & Kevin.
1) COM3 was my XG3 RF Signal Source USB Serial Port - silly me...
2) PC Sound Card is now Default - I had to plug something into the Blue Line
In and Green Line Out jacks for them to be Ready so I could select them as
default
3) Nothing in K3S Line In jack; U7 card
Both Rich and Don have given good advice.
Make sure the U7 or onboard NVIDIA sound device is set as default so you
don't broadcast windows sounds. Make sure the USB Audio Codec Speaker
and Mic are enabled but not set as default. In the WSJT software select
the USB Audio Codec as the sound
An additional "By The Way" comment - Windows normally sets the last
installed soundcard as the default. Your U7 soundcard was likely set to
be default when it was installed.
You can set the default back to the internal soundcard (the NVIDIA) if
you are trying to use the U7 with LP-Pan2.
73,
Bret,
Do not set the K3S CODEC to be the default soundcard - the default
soundcard will be the one that plays sounds from the OS (Windows
Sounds), and those sounds should not be transmitted on the air.
The "Recording" setting level is audio from the K3S to the computer (not
K3S recording).
1. The U7 is not on COM3. Sound cards do not use serial ports. Perhaps COM3
is a virtual COM port created by LP-Bridge, or perhaps COM3 is the K3S's
USB serial port, and COM7 is a virtual port created by LP-Bridge that you
connect other software to. You need to get this straight for other reasons,
Kevin,
I do find the Serial Port for the K3S as COM7, and also have a ASUS Xonar U7
external card on COM3, running through a LP-PAN2 I'm also working to
configure. That's a somewhat separate topic.
I have several sound cards, it seems. My Windows 10 PC Device Manager lists:
High Definition Audio
Hi Bill - We might be talking two different things. WSPR & WSJT-X have an
option under band hopping to send a 2-3 second tune signal before each RX so
that an ATU can recall the tune parameters for that frequency from memory.
That's not happening for me.

It isn't supposed activate the auto-tune. It provides a TX signal to allow you
to adjust your ALC and maybe check SWR. If you want to use ATU, just tap Tune
button on K3.

Bret,
Reduce the soundcard level setting in your computer so you have a
greater range of control with the MIC Gain setting.
Adjust so you get 4 bars solid with the 5th bar flashing.
7 bars is too much - you are driving into the ALC region.
The No ALC point for the K3 and K3S is at the 5th bar.
Hey Kevin - sorry, edited my post to note I'm being heard while you were
replying. Sorry about that - your comment were otherwise on the mark.
One remaining niggle - the WSJT-X "Tune" option in Band Hopping doesn't seem
to trigger my K3S ATU TUNE. Not sure why...

Sounds to me llike you have the wrong sound card line out setup.
When you plug the USB cable in the computer there should be three
entries in device manager in control panel once the drivers are loaded.
One under the "ports" heading which should say "USB serial port" write
down the Com port
Thanks for the replies all. Just back from travel - sorry for the silence.
OK - on DATA A now and getting Rx on the waterfall. So Rx but no Tx.
Nothing plugged to rear LINE IN jack, and MIC SEL to LInE In. The MIC level
was indeed low, and bumping it to level 6 yields an ALC meter raeding of 7
Ed,
The internal soundcard in the K3S should show up as a separate USB
soundcard (Codec) in your computer.

I confess I do not use WSPR-X very much but I checked my version and
the K3s is not shown in setup. Plenty ways to chose a com port and a
soundcard, but one does not use a computer soundcard with the K3s
connected via USB port.
Just wondering if this could be the issue? I see you can chose
Bret,
One more thing - if you are using the K3S internal soundcard, make
certain you do not have anything plugged into the LINE IN jack.
A plug in LINE IN overrides and disconnects input from the internal
sound card.

Don W3FPR
Bret,
How do you have the LINE IN level set? Try increasing it to see if you
can get a waterfall display.

One "eccentricity" of the KX3 is that *if* the audio input is too high
the KX3 will protect the audio input by shutting it down. Start with the
MIC GAIN at a low level and bring it up slowly until you find
I've used that in my set-up of app and rig, but no go. I might be missing
something simple as a K3S newbie. With USB as mode, and VOX enabled, perhaps
Tx is not enabled? When the app goes to Tx, or it do a Tune from the app,
the K3S Red TX LED comes on, but ALC doesn't budge.

Working to get WSJT 1.7 alpha running with my K3S. I saw some other posts but
found no solution. I can Rx just fine, just cannot Tx. Pressing TUNE on the
K3S gives Red TX LED and obvious Tx evidence from display with ATU TUNE
enabled.
