[Elecraft] [K3] Need help: K3 - FLDIGI - Signalink

[Don Wilhelm]

  Paul,

Did you set the Line-in level according to the K3 instructions?  In TX 
TEST mode, drive the ALC indicator up to 4 bars with the 5th bar 
flickering.  Then use the K3 power control to set the power output level.

Many interface manuals will tell you to adjust the transceiver power 
using the audio drive - and while that works with many transceivers that 
use the ALC to adjust the power output, it does not work with the K3 
since its power control is developed differently.

I don't really know what the Signalink instructions say, but do follow 
the instructions in the K3 manual on this setup portion and ignore any 
others.

73,
Don W3FPR
