[Matt VK2RQ]

You're probably overdriving the mic level input on the radio -- you probably don't need any more than mic gain 4 or 5 on the KX3.

Direct connect with Elecraft cables.  Changing nothing in the setup and switching to fldigi PSK31 works FB.  I am perplexed.  It seems like the narrow audio of the JT sigs won't modulate the KX3.  Anybody else doing this exercise or am I messing with the bleeding edge?
