Kyle,

I watched the video.

For the lack of waterfall, check the Low Cut on your KX3.  I suspect it 
is set to about 600 Hz - meaning that you are not getting audio response 
out of the KX3 below that frequency.

For the problem of not going back into receive, it could be either the 
SignaLink holding PTT active (the most likely) or a problem with the KX3 
or the PTT cable.
After your next trial, unplug the PTT cable from the SignaLink and see 
if the KX3 goes back to receive - if so, the SignaLink has a problem 
with its PTT output.

I do not have details on the SignaLink cables for the KX3.  Does the 
SignaLink PTT signal come in on the MIC jack?  or does it use the ACC2 GPIO?
If it uses the ACC2 GPIO, do you have the KX3 menu ACC2 GPIO parameter 
set for PTT?

73,
Don W3FPR
