[Elecraft] K3 Line-In for PSK31 not working

[William Shappley]

Alan -

I have used PSK31, MFSK16 and RTTY using Hamscope with no problems.   
However,
the rear panel LINE IN (mono) and LINE OUT (stereo) jacks are 3.5mm,  
NOT the
old trusty 1/8 inch (they are slightly larger).  I initially used  
some 1/8" plugs I had, and they worked, but were
loose and prone to poor connection.  I ordered 3.5mm plugs from  
Mouser and they fit FB.

Please check your cable and verify it is firmly seated into the K3 LINE
IN connector.  I routinely use LINE IN with VOX in DATA A mode to
operate PSK31 on my K3 with no problems.
