I tried using DATA-A as you advised:

/"With the K3 in DATA A, check that MAIN:MIC 
SEL is set to LINE IN (this is remembered per-mode, so this won't upset 
your SSB settings), then use the K3's MIC control to adjust the Line In 
level. Put the K3's meter in ALC mode and adjust the Line In level so 
that the ALC meter reads 4-5 bars on an idling PSK31 signal. Use the PWR 
control to set power (use no more than 50 watts for good linearity). The 
settings that work in DATA A for PSK31 will also work in AFSK A for 
RTTY, except that you don't need to worry about non-linearity and you 
can run the power up to 100 watts for RTTY. /

However whilst MVARI in N1MM decodes PSK31 signals fine, when i try to
transmit I get no power output & instead I get a couple of error messages on
the K3 - Error PTT , Error KEY which in the K3 manual saysits usually caused
by an external device (the MicroHAM MKII?) shorting KEY or PTT to ground.
I've obviously got something setup wrong in either N1MM config or in the
MKII router. Any ideas please?
