[Elecraft] K3 + MK II HELP Needed

[ik0yvv]

Hi Guys,

i've taken a Microkeyer II with his cables for K3 ( the one with the rear jack
for mic ), i've been able to set-up everything for RTTY and CW, but i'm having
big problems with phone and PSK31/JT65 .

I've connected an condenser mic to the rear of MKII with the supplied RJ45
adapter , but , not way to let the audio arrives to the K3, just the ptt but no
audio (i've setted the internal switch of the MKII for the condenser mic ), the
same problem occured on PSK31 and JT65 ( in DATA mode ), the program can drive
the PTT but the radio doesn't receive the "audio" from the MKII .... i've done
almost every kind of test and set-up in the K3 , but i cannot find the
solution.

Any suggestion ?

If i record an SSB buffer in the MKII with the computer mic and send it into
the K3 the radio trasmits properly.

I'm not a tecnician, so i do apologize if my question is very silly.

Thanks in advance.

What software are you using for digital modes - see the configuration
examples in microHAM Router (Help | download documents) or on-line in
the MK II area at www.microHAM-USA.com/support.html.

When using MK II with a K3, the audio switching tab in microHAM Router
should be set as follows: "Voice/Digital settings selector ..." should
be set to "Use Voice Settings. Computer generated audio fed to: should
be "Microphone jack, DVK control" for Voice" and "Line input (rear) for
FSK/DIGITAL.

In SSB the K3 MENU:MIC SEL should be set to rP.L and MENU:MIC+LIN must
be set to OFF. In DATA the K3 MENU:MIC SEL should be set to LInE In.
Mic and line input gains are set separately with the Mic Gain control
*while in SSB or DATA modes respectively*.

Make sure you have followed the instructions for setting audio levels
beginning on page 45 of the microKEYER II USERS MANUAL *EXACTLY*. Do
not skip steps and do not try to do it the way you think it should be
done. Only proceed to the next step when you have achieved the results
described in the instructions.
