If you have a KX3, I think that you can use that one as a remote control panel
for the K3, at least it works on my TS-590.

Strange thing happened on 20m two nights ago on 14.023. I was listening to all
the mayhem with huge pileup on FT5ZM earlier in the evening. The DX station was
still strong but around 0434Z the callers started to disappear. I decided to
take the KPA500 offline and worked with a barefoot KX3.
Way to go Elecraft guys.
Or more accurately: Way to go YOU!

I am trying to setup WSJT-X for JT65 operation on my K3 and Mac but can't seem
to get the program to work. My audio card is a SignaLink USB.
When I try to configure WSJT-X to interface to my K3, I always get the message

Bob - have you modified the WSJT-X.ini file to point it to your SLUSB stuff? I
had the same issue trying to get my iMac (and my MacBook Air) to properly do
rig control. Here is what I had to do in my situation - your USBSERIAL name and
location may be different:
Greetings All, My K3/10F now K3/100 plus mostly loaded has a problem.
The mic connector has to be pressed down a bit to get PTT when using
the K3 on SSB. I use a Heil PR781 mic that goes through a Rigblaster Duo.
The connector to the K3 comes from the Duo and is never changed or
fooled with.
Jim,
Thank you. This might be my issue. Here are the settings in my ini file:
CATdriver=/dev/rig
CATport=/dev/ttyUSB0
CATportIndex=9
How were you able to determine your actual USBSERIAL name and location?

First thing I'd do is eliminate all but the mic, cable and K3. If problem
persists check plug on cable. Then at mic end. Finally check other items one
at a time.

Bob,
Glad to help and that your rig control is working. I had a devil of a time
getting it working on my end. Exchanged several emails with G4KLA who wrote
some of the install instructions. He was a big help to me.
On my SLUSB I have both the Rx and Tx set at the 1:00 position, and the DLY all
The ground is not needed on the audio output line. If there was to be
one it would be connected to chassis ground, and that circuit already
has a chassis ground connection.
An Elecraft-wired mic won't use pin 5, so it's safe to leave the audio
out connected to pin 5 of the header.

Dhoh!
I'll post up a revised version with the OUT label corrected. Thanks for letting
me know.
It's good to know that it works.

Kevin,
With the Elecraft pinout, pin 5 is defined as FUNC - which was never
implemented in the K2, so that is the choice for use as an unused mic pin.
Caution, there is circuitry connected to the FUNC input, so that must
remain isolated - in other words, if there is a jumper from FUNC to 5 on

Mike,
It sounds like a bad solder connection somewhere.
Before you dig into the K3, try the mic directly on the K3. If all is
OK, then investigate the connector for the Duo to K3 cable.
If it persists with the mic connected directly to the K3, then it may be
a K3 problem.

Hi Sean. I am looking forward to seeing the revised layout. I did something
