[Elecraft] Fldigi and signallink question interfaced to KX3

[Don Wilhelm]

sorry about the blank response.  It is late here and the fingers do not 
work well.

Fldigi uses audio tones for keying, and you need to be in SSB mode 
(typically USB or DATA A) to transmit on the proper frequency - CW 
included - but I would expect twice the sidetone pitch.
Use DATA A mode when trying to send CW via the Fldigi CW mode.

CW is "just another digital mode" although one that can be decoded by 
the human brain for those who know morse.  It uses audio tones to send 
CW, do the carrier frequency USB frequency will be the transmit 
frequency plus the frequency for the sidetone in Fldigi.
