[Elecraft] No Waterfall Display in FLDIGI when KX3 is in DATA mode

[Steve Watkins]

I recently connected my KX3 with a Signaling  USB interface and using FLDIGI on my Macbook Pro.

I was NOT receiving any signals on the waterfall display when I was in the DATA mode recommended in the KX3 Owners Manual.  However, I was able to receive signals if I switched to USB.

I was able to transmit and control the ALC to 4-5 bars with the Signalink  only if I was in USB but it didn’t have any affect if in DATA mode .

Two questions:

1.  Is there something obvious in my settings (maybe in FLDIGI ?) that allows me to receive nice signals on the waterfall in USB mode but not in the KX3’s data mode?

2. Is it (OK) to communicate in PSK31 mode with the KX3 in USB as long as my transmit ALC is kept to 3-5 bars?


Any suggestions would be much appreciated, as I’m tearing my hair out (what’s left of it)
