[Elecraft] K3/MMTTY/Signalink Problem

[Don Wilhelm]

Paul,

How many bars are being illuminated on the K3 ALC meter?  If you do not 
have 4 bars illuminated with the 5th bar flickering, you do not have 
enough audio drive.
If you are using the K3 Line In, you will have to set the SignaLink for 
high audio output (see the SL instructions).

The K3 must be operated as indicated in the K3 manual.  If you try to 
use the conventional advice given for other rigs, you will have trouble 
- the K3 is different in how it controls the power output level.
Set the audio level to produce the proper level in the ALC meter (you 
can do that in TX TEST mode so you do not bother other operators).  Then 
set your desired power level with the K3 power control.
Attempting to use the audio level to control the power output will 
result in failure.

73,
Don W3FPR
