I am trying to setup WSJT-X for JT65 operation on my K3 and Mac but can't seem to get the program to work. My audio card is a SignaLink USB.

When I try to configure WSJT-X to interface to my K3, I always get the message "Open Rig Failed". 

Does anyone have any suggestions on the proper setup of the K3 as well as WSJT-X?

Here is my K3 setup:

K3 CONFIG settings:
     AF GAIN     HI
     AF LIM       nor 030
     LIN OUT     nor 075 
     PTT--KEY   OFF-OFF
     RS232        38400 b
     SPKRS       2    
     SPKR+PH    NO    

K3 MENU Settings:
     MIC SEL     Line In 
     MIC+LIN     Not APPL    (I can't change this)

Controls:
     CMP   0
     MIC  MIC LINE 20
     SQUELCH  0
     RF GAIN 50% 
     MODE     USB
     NB           OFF
     NR           OFF
     NTCH       OFF
     VOX         OFF
     AGC         AGC-F
     ALT          OFF 
     PWR        50 Watts 
     
On the SignaLink USB I have the Tx and Rx gain set for 50% and DLY set to 0.

Thanks and 73,
