[Elecraft] K3S and WSJT-X

Ian,

Are you actually getting RF output?  Check with an in-line wattmeter.

WSJT-X is no different than other soundcard data modes.
Do you have the DATA mode input set to LINE IN?  If you have a K3S or K3 
with the KIO3B *and* are using the internal soundcard, anything plugged 
into the LINE IN jack on the K3/K3S will override the audio input from 
the internal soundcard.

Do you have the data submode set to DATA A?
The audio drive should be set to produce 4 bars solid on the ALC meter 
with the 5th bar flashing - that is the "No ALC" point, the 1st 4 bars 
are there to help you adjust the audio drive level.  Set the MIC SEL to 
LINE and set MIC + LINE to off.  Set the soundcard output slider up to 
at least 3/4 and then adjust the Line-In (Mic) Gain to obtain the proper 
deflection on the ALC meter (you can do that in TX TEST mode without 
producing RF).

If you have no indication on the ALC meter, that is good reason for no 
RF output.

73,
