Ariel,
Do you have the KX3 set to DATA A mode? Do you have 4 to 5 bars
indicated on the ALC meter?
Is the KX3 going into transmit? If you are trying to use PTT from the
Signalink, do you have the KX3 set to use PTT? VOX is also usable, but
you must get enough audio into the KX3 to activate it.
You will be using audio tones out of the SignaLink. The KX3 Utility
does not use the audio path, so that does not compare.
You must have the Signalink set for mic level output. Set the soundcard
sliders in the computer to about 2/3 of full scale. Then start out with
the mic gain set at a low value and bring it up until you have 4 bars
solid on the ALC meter with the 5th bar flashing.
Do your adjustments with a dummy load connected so you don't bother your
fellow hams.
73,
