Gary,

I cannot speak to your problems about the communications between WSJT-X 
and the K3S.

But once you have solved that remember that the instructions in the 
WSJT-X help file are not correct for the K3S (or other Elecraft radios). 
  You must drive the audio to 4 bars on the ALC meter with the 5th bar 
flashing.  Set the desired power with the power knob.

Elecraft radios are different than other ham transceivers in how they 
control the power.  Do not attempt to use the audio level to control the 
power output - that will create a condition affectionately known as 
"power hunting".

The same is true for all soundcard digital modes.  Follow the 
instructions in the Elecraft manuals and ignore the internet advice.

73,
Don W3FPR
