[Elecraft] K3 SSB & Data - No Output, Need suggestions

[Jim / W6JHB]

Folk: my SSB -and- data problems have been corrected. The problem was, as
expected, at the user end of the chain! The SSB problem turned out to be the
Mic bias not being set properly: operator mis-read the manual!

The PSK31 / data problem ended up being not enough Mic drive. Tried it with
the SignaLink's output going to the rear Mic connector (per Don, W3FPR) and
it worked fine. Chen (W7AY) reminded me that the K3's LineIn drive level is
adjusted by the front panel "Mic" control. I had set that to full
counterclockwise at the start, per the S/L documentation and never had
advanced it past zero. Turning it up around 20 gave me plenty of RF output.
Haven't made a QSO with it yet on PSK31, but I know there is now RF going
down the coax!!!

Thanks for the helpful replies everyone - much appreciated.

73, Jim / W6JHB
