[Elecraft] About to give up

[Don Wilhelm]

Dick,

Do you have sound coming out of the SignaLink?  Connect it to an audio 
amplifier and listen - if you hear tones, things should work.
If the SignaLink produces tones, does it activate the PTT output - test 
with your ohmmeter, it should measure a very high resistance (even 
infinity) with no tones produced and near zero ohms when tones are present.
Yes, I am thinking you may have a bad SignaLink, so test it to be sure 
it is doing its job.

I assume you are plugging the SignaLink into the line-in jack on the 
K3S.  Have you set the data mode MIC SEL menu to LINE IN?

If the SignaLink makes tones, try using VOX in the K3S - it should go 
into transmit when tones are received.
If the SignaLink does not produce tones, try the output of another 
soundcard.

Why are you using the SignaLink instead of the built-in USB CODEC in the 
K3S?  The SignaLink only further complicates things.  If you do use the 
USB CODEC, make certain nothing is plugged into the K3S LINE IN jack.

73,
Don W3FPR

Neither will cause the TX light to come on or TX!  I have never  had t his problem before on any of my Rigs, or before when I owned  a K3.  Joe tried your hamlib as well as the Rig Cat settings sent to me from Elecraft.  No go.???
