[Elecraft] PSK31 on my K3

I received over a dozen responses to my plea for help configuring PSK31. 
Some submitters sent multiple messages; some put forward their own 
(successful) approaches that do not employ the MicroHam MicroKeyer--I am 
quite aware that the MK is not essential, but it is helpful in my 
overall operating preference, which is heavily CW, RTTY, DXing and 
contesting. Some offered mini-tutorials. Most suggested using VOX in 
preference to PTT control. No one suggested using USB over DATA A. Some 
reminded me to use Main: Mic Sel = Line In; I am pretty sure that 
forgetting to do that was the reason why PSK31 had worked for me a few 
days before, but not since. There were reminders to select Use Voice 
Settings in the MK Router's Audio Switching tab. And I updated my MK 
Router to ver. 7.6.1.

Thank you all for the suggestions--I was successful this evening, using 
VOX, TX DATA, DATA A, Mic Sel=Line IN, and Voice Settings on the 
Router's Audio Switching tab. I had a nice ragchew with a fellow in 
Novato at 20W, and all now seems to work.
