[Elecraft] K3 won't PTT in data

[Ian Kahn]

Tim,

Make sure you have MIC SEL on the MAIN menu set to PH+Line-In.  This allows
the back line-in jack to be active for transmit/receive on the back panel
Line-In port.  I also use the SignaLink with my K3 and don't have any
issues with this setting.

Hope this helps.

73,
