Can anyone who is running this setup on SSB tell me exactly what cabling 
and settings you have for the MIC and AUDIO OUT on the K3 radio back in 
the shack On the Shack Computer?

I have been running my K3 + Alpha87A for the last two winters from my 
Laptop in Florida and the Shack and Home computer in Indiana. Works 
great on CW but on SSB all hookups have created Ack Ack Ack on and off 
of the VOX curcuitry or else don't produce any audio to the MIC of the radio. 
Tried every antivox and mic gain setting I could find. Has to be some 
problem with the way I am cabling it all up?

Runnng Ham Radio Deluxe on the shack computer and link between the 
computers is a VPN for remoting the desktop plus MS Portrait for the audio 
back and forth.

thanks
