[Elecraft] CW with kx3 and Fldigi

[Don Wilhelm]

Michael,

First of all, use DATA A instead of USB.  That mode sets compression to 
zero and the TX EQ to flat.  So whatever your settings for SSB might be, 
they are not disturbed.

Fldigi just sends an audio tone to the KX3.  Set the audio level (with 
the soundcard output level and/or the KX3 mic level) so you have 4 bars 
illuminated on the ALC meter with the 5th bar flashing. Set the desired 
power level with the Power knob.  You will be transmitting at the full 
power level.

As far as your TX and RX frequencies go, there is a way to have Fldigi 
lock the transmit frequency so that will not move.  I don't recall just 
how to do it, but look in the Fldigi help file to find out which 
keystrokes lock TX.
