I had to send my K3 infor repairs, so I will be using my KX-3 as my main radio for the next fewweeks. But I haven’t got it working with Digital modes yet in particular FT-8.   

PC is a Win 10 and amusing a Signalink USB. I am able to receive fine in WSJT-X but not transmit. 

Settings in WSJT-X Rig:None  PTT-Vox. (Tigertronics suggestionfor Signalink & WSJT-X)

Audio: Input MicrophoneUSB Audio Codec. Output:  Speakers USBCodec 

Windows SoundSettings- Both Playback and Recording default set to PC speakers and mic,  notthe audio codec. 

Signalink Tx at 2o’clock, Rx at 2 o’clock

Signalink Radio cableto KX3 mic jack

Signalink Audio cableto KX3 phone jack 

When WSJT-X goes totransmit, the Signalink Tx light comes on but the KX3 Tx light does not and Iam getting no power out. I am getting movement on the Win 10 Playback Vu Meterand sound out of Signalink monitor jack. 

So can someone who isusing KX3 and Signalink give me some hints on how to get the KX3 to go Tx?  I am using Signalink because I do not want touse the PC sound card for digi modes. 

Tnx & 73
