[Elecraft] PSK31 setup

Last night I started setting up PSK31 using HRD and DM780.

 

I am using an older Lenovo T60p computer in a port replicator, running
Windows 7.  I made direct connections using 1/8 stereo audio plugs
between the line in-out connectors on the K3.  The line out goes to the
microphone input in the laptop, and the headphones output on the laptop
goes to the line in on the K3.

 

I have things running apparently properly on receive.  I have had no
problems working the waterfall to find and decode signals.  

 

I have also verified that on transmit the program does go through all
the motions and does put the K3 into transmit mode.

 

I have not however been able to get a QSL from anyone yet.  I suspect
there is something obvious that I have forgotten that needs to be done
in order for the transmit to work properly.

 

I do have the radio in Data and set to Data A.  

 

I am sure I will feel stupid when someone tells me what I am doing
wrong.  But, since none of you know me personally I am brave enough to
take the risk.
