[Elecraft] K3 and JT65

[Don Wilhelm]

Larry,

As others have said, use DATA A, and if you are using an interface box, 
make sure it is plugged to give you line level output.  I suspect that 
you have microphone level audio from an interface box and you are trying 
to use the K3 line level input.

You must have enough audio drive to show 4 bars on the K3 ALC meter with 
the 5th bar flickering.  Most interfaces provide microphone level output 
which is way too low for the K3 Line input.  See the documentation for 
your interface box to see how to set it for line level.

Using DATA A (data submode) will set the compression to zero and bypass 
the audio equalization - so your settings for SSB will be preserved when 
you return to SSB mode.  When switching to "DATA" mode, you could be in 
any of the 4 data submodes, make sure you are set to DATA A.

73,

However, while playing around on 6 a fellow over in Texas called me on JT65.  We did make a couple of exchanges but did not finish the QSO.  I must have been radiating microwatts?  Anyway when he called me back it scared the heck out of me because i knew it wasn't possible.
