[Elecraft] FT8 and K3

[Dave Hachadorian]

In troubleshooting problems like these, it is helpful to plug 
headphones into the sound card audio output jack, to see whether 
it's a computer issue or a radio issue.

Subject: [Elecraft] FT8 and K3

Good morning all,



I had this problem show up this morning and haven't figured out 
what has
changed.



I use a MicroKeyer II (MKII) with the K3.



After working some FT8 DX this morning I went to calling CQ and I 
noticed
that I wasn't getting any RF output.



The first thing I looked at was the line setting figuring it got 
bumped and
I just needed to adjust.  That wasn't the case.  I can't get any 
RF out
regardless of the setting.



Here's the setup on the K3:

DATA A

Mic Sel: Line In

Mic Setting:  varied from 0 to 60 with no effect.



I've tested the setting from within WSJT and everything seem 
fine.



I have power cycled the MKII, the K3, reinstalled the WSJT-X 
software
(v1.9.1).  I do use a DXLab "bridge" to DXkeeper but that seem to 
be working
fine.



The K3 goes into TX mode but there is no RF according to the watt 
meter.
I've tried FT8 on other bands and the same problem.  Everything 
looks right
except there is no RF out.   Any suggestions on what to try will 
be greatly
appreciated.
