[Elecraft] Trying to get on FT-8 with my KX2

[Tommy]

Bob,

    I have the appropriate cables for the Signalink to radio. Everything 
is hooked up per instructions. I've even got my KXUSB cable connected 
and I'm only able to receive and decode. Transmitting is now my problem.

SO frustrating.

Tom
