===========
Doug, try it without the Signalink. Just unplug it, and plug the K3
line-out into the mic on your computer. This eliminates the jumpers and
settings as a possible source of error.

Next, try to transmit some RTTY or other digital mode. You should hear the
audio signal coming out of the computer speakers, and the K3 will go to
transmit if you are using CAT to control it.

Now plug the speaker-out on the computer into the K3 Line-in, set the power
out to 0 or hook up a dummy load, and try to transmit. By adjusting the
computer speaker out slider you can set the audio drive to the K3 as
desired. Now you're on the air. Set audio so that you get 4 full bars of
ALC and one flickering.



Good luck,
Tony KT0NY
