Tom,
Why are you using a Signalink ??? Its not needed for WSJT-X, and I'm
not sure that its needed for any other digital mode. You can connect the
KX to your computer using the steps below.
1. Find yourself a good USB external soundcard that provides a 48,000
Hz DVD quality INPUT and OUTPUT. WSJT-X requires this, you can pick
one up at Amazon for less than $30, or get a good one for $70. I'm not
sure the Signalink provides that DVD quality out.
2. Use the KUSB cable for CAT control. WSJT-X will use it for PTT and
Freq control.
3. Get two 2.5mm cables for the stereo in and out and hook them up to
the external soundcard.
4. Set the Windows audio in for the soundcard at 100, and use the AF
knob to set the dB in to WSJT-X
5. Use the rig's PWR knob to set the output power, and then when in
tx, set the MIC knob to show 4 bars of ALC
That's it ... in WSJT-X set the rig for K3/KX3, set the serial port as
the same one that the KUSB is assigned to, baud rate at 38400, 8 data
bits, 2 stop bits, no handshake, PTT at CAT, Mode at Data/Pkt, Split at
RIG. Once its setup, the TEST CAT button there should turn green, you
can then click the TEST PTT and it will kick the rig in.
Hope this helps,
Neil, KN3ILZ

Hi folks,
Trying to get WSJT-X going with FT8 and my new KX2. I keep
getting a "/Hamlib error/: IO /error/ while opening connection to rig"
error. I have the right cables and jumper module in the signalink,
Radio selection is KX3 (it's supposed to work), USB and VOX is
selected and VOX is ON. 8 bits, one stop and handshake NONE. No matter
what I do I still get the error.
Any ideas please? It's driving me nuts! This shouldn't be this
difficult. Any help appreciated.
