[Elecraft] setting up digital on k3

[David Bunte]

Don -
I had exactly the same problem and got it going a couple of days ago,
thanks to help from W4TV on the microHAM list.
The 'magic' setting that got things going for me was to go into the K3 Main
Menu, while the radio was in the DATA A mode, and find MIC SEL and set it
to LINE IN.
Then exit the menu and set the front panel MIC GAIN so you have 4 bars
solid, and the 5th bar blinking on the ALC meter. I did that by putting the
K3 in the TEST mode, so I would not be putting out any RF, and then clicked
on the TUNE tab in WSJT-X.
I hope that gets you going. I am no expert, but that is what made it work
for me. Shortly after doing that I made my first FT8 QSO.
Best of luck and very 73 de Dave - K9FN
