[Elecraft] Trying wspr again with signalink and K3

[Don Wilhelm]

I would suggest that the WSPR audio is not reliably triggering the 
SignaLink PTT.

The SignaLink uses the incoming audio to trigger the PTT.  In other 
words, it is a VOX function inside the SignaLink box.

You will have better success using the K3 VOX than trying to use the 
SignaLink vox (to provide PTT).  Do not connect the PTT line from the 
SignaLink box.

Eliminate the SignaLink to K3 PTT line and set the K3 VOX on. Adjust the 
K3 VOX gain so the K3 goes into transmit when the K3 hears the SignaLink 
audio tones.

Adjust the K3 ALC indiation for 4 bars solid and the 5th bar flashing.  
That is the "No ALC" point for the K3 - ignore the internet advice to 
show no ALC indication.

Also ignore the internet advice to control the power output with the 
audio level.  That does not work well with the K3 - adjust the desired 
power level with the Power knob.
