[Elecraft] SignaLink Wiring

[tomb18]

Well after a day and a half I finally got it to work!There was a comedy of
errors here...
I hooked everything up, established a skype connection to the computer that
had the signalink attached and tryed it after going over a multitude of
sound settings.  As it turns out, with Skype it is easy.
So I am sitting in front of the computer with my laptop and talking into my
headset connected to the laptop, and I am getting a signal out.But there is
aa ton of echos and big delays with the echos.  When I move away from the
computer attached to the radio, everything is good.  But I tried and tried
to CQand answer the sweepstakes spots to no avail.
So I hooked up  WEBCAM, and had it point at the power meter.  Nothing, nada,
except when I get close to the compyter connected to the radio and then it
works!  Hmmm, what if I disconnect my headset from the radio?
No signal going out anymore....
So after a lot of troubleshooting guess what it was?
You have to set the K3 to use line in for the mike!!  Didn't see it in the
manual...
Now it works.  And pretty good.  My first CQ was with Aruba, and he said the
signal was quite fine, a little computer like, but it worked.  As it turns
out, the best quality is if you turn compression off completely and turn up
the line in gain.

Hope this helps someone in the future!...Now to have my radio when I'm away
from the house!!!
