Keith,

Check your audio, you should be driving the audio so you have 4 bars 
illuminated with the 5th bar flickering on the K3S ALC meter.
If you are operating in USB mode, I suggest you change to DATA A data 
submode.  That will automatically set compression off and the 
equalization to flat.
You have 2 controls to adjust the audio drive.  One is in the computer, 
set the slider for the soundcard in use to about 2/3 of full scale for 
starters, and set the MIC SEL to LINE IN - the MIC Gain control in the 
K3S will allow you to control the gain of the LINE IN signal.
BTW, if you are using the internal soundcard in the K3S, make certain 
you do *not* have anything plugged into the K3S LINE IN jack.  If you 
do, the LINE IN audio from the internal K3S soundcard will be ignored 
and whatever you have plugged into the LINE IN jack will take precedence.

You can adjust the audio levels by placing the K3S into TX TEST mode and 
no RF will be produced.  Once the audio levels are correct, you can 
adjust the desired power level with the POWER knob.

Once the audio levels are set, adjust the VOX gain for reliable transmit.

73 and HNY,
