Dave,

It sounds like you have some problem with the cable to the computer or 
in the soundcard itself.  If you attach some other device to the cable 
you are plugging into the K3 line-out (like a portable CD player), do 
you see anything on the waterfall - you should.

Is there any chance that you have reversed the line-in and line-out 
cables?  The K3 line out goes to the computer line-in.  Reversing them 
would cause both transmit and receive to fail.

Check your computer soundcard controls to be certain you do not have 
line-in muted.
