What software are you using for digital modes - see the configuration
examples in microHAM Router (Help | download documents) or on-line in
the MK II area at www.microHAM-USA.com/support.html.

When using MK II with a K3, the audio switching tab in microHAM Router
should be set as follows:  "Voice/Digital settings selector ..." should
be set to "Use Voice Settings.  Computer generated audio fed to: should
be "Microphone jack, DVK control" for Voice" and "Line input (rear) for
FSK/DIGITAL.

In SSB the K3 MENU:MIC SEL should be set to rP.L and MENU:MIC+LIN must
be set to OFF.  In DATA the K3 MENU:MIC SEL should be set to LInE In.
Mic and line input gains are set separately with the Mic Gain control
*while in SSB or DATA modes respectively*.

Make sure you have followed the instructions for setting audio levels
beginning on page 45 of the microKEYER II USERS MANUAL *EXACTLY*.  Do
not skip steps and do not try to do it the way you think it should be
done.  Only proceed to the next step when you have achieved the results
described in the instructions.
