[Elecraft] Need help with getting WSJT X to continue working with my KX3

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

JT is no different than any other soundcard data mode.  You should be 
following the data mode setup instructions in the KX3 manual rather than 
the information on the internet which is generic for common transceivers 
which control power output differently than the Elecraft gear.

Are you using DATA A mode?  If not, you should be.  Yes, it is the same 
as USB, but with the compression and TX EQ automatically turned off.

Are you driving the ALC meter to 4 bars solid with the 5th bar flashing? 
  That is the "No ALC" point for the K3/K3S/KX3 and KX2.
Inadequate audio drive will cause the problems that you are experiencing.

73,
Don W3FPR
