[Elecraft] Elecraft K3 + Microham, the result

Firstly, thanks to everyone who replied to me, either direct or via the
list.

With a clear head and a fresh day, the K3 now transmits WSJT tones as
expected. The major stumbling block was simple in the end... Always make
sure there's sound coming out of the PC!! How it happened I can't say, I
simply don't know, but the sound out was muted... Yeah, now don't I feel a
dumbo :-)

Once that was sorted, I had tones but only just... The next issue was 'line
in' gain, further reading found the right setting in the menu to increase
the gain and hey presto, it works fine!

So, thanks to all who responded, all very helpful suggestions and ideas.

Further to this one.

Details I missed out:
Microham USB Interface 2, complete with Microham lead.

When trying to TX WSJT tones for a test, I get the following results:
On Data A, no signal at all.
AFSK A, no signal at all.
FSK D, solid tone when it should be alternating tones
PSK D, sounds like PSK31 when it should be alternating tones

I have the Microham 'PC out' lead plugged into the K3 Line in socket.
The Microham 'PC in' lead is plugged into the K3 Line out socket and works
as expected.

While in data mode, The MIC SEL is Line In.

So, I'm not sure what else I can look at...

A quick question to the group.
 
Is anyone on here using a K3 and a Microham interface? 

Would appreciate an email regarding settings etc.

Thanks,
 

Andy
