[Elecraft] SOLVED: [K3] Need help with soundcard digital mode transmit

[Don Putnick]

Me again.

I want to thank all of you who took the time to help me. I really do appreciate it. I learned a lot in the process. The cause was being too cheap with the VOX gain; it's way up there now. For whatever reason, I never had to adjust the VOX setting on my FT-890.

Have a great weekend!

The line-out jack appears to be at a fixed level, which is a little low, but the rear speaker jack with volume control works just fine (that's the approach I used on my Yaesu FT-890).
