[Elecraft] KX3, FLDIGI, SignaLinkUSB - Not Exiting XMIT Mode

[John Overbaugh]

Big thank you to Hank K4HYJ who mentioned Data A is a little different from
SB when it comes to the XMIT function. I believe I’ve been operating PSK in
USB till now, and just… put it into Data A mode. Changing the Mike PTT to
off fixed it in Data A mode, and it works as usually in USB mode.

I really appreciate this group. I don’t often reach out, but every time I
do, I get the right answer in a matter of hours.

I do have a follow up question. I will start a new thread on that.
