Tom,
the Signalink should have a COM port assigned against it. I'm assuming
you're using Windows, if so, go into the Device Manager, and check to
see if there are any PORTs listed. I suspect it doesn't show one.
I also assume that you have the Signalink selected as the Sound Card
under Audio. If you can't see it there, then you may be out of luck
with the Signalink, unless there are drivers you haven't installed.
Try this. Turn off all system sounds & JT-Alert sounds (if you have
it installed) and using stereo cables and the KUSB cable, connect right
to the computer, using the computer's soundcard.
Then set WSJT-X as I listed below, and make sure the audio shows the
computer soundcard's mike as input and speakers as output.
If it works that way, then the issue is with the Signalink.

Thanks for the info. I'm using a Signalink because I have one and
bought the appropriate cable for it. My issue is with the com port
apparently. WSJT-X won't let me select one, it just says "USB" with no
other choices.

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,

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.
