Howard, Let me try to help simplify things for you. I cannot tell you exactly how to run your computer, but I can tell you about the K3S part of it. Take it one step at a time. First, yes, the built-in CODEC in the K3S can be used as the soundcard for digital applications such as Fldigi.

Re: [Elecraft] Minimum bandwidth?

My connection here has exceptionally high jitter, which is worse, but also fairly unusual. A half-second of latency means you're hearing what happened a half-second ago, and when you key the transmitter, it's going to happen a half-second from now. Going back to the original question, it is

Re: [Elecraft] Minimum bandwidth?

The key question is always latency. Maybe the problems Lynn refers to is more due to very high jitter. In my experience fairly high latency *can* be used - if the jitter is low. It will not make you feel like being directly on the rig and you may have to adapt your operating style. But high

Re: [Elecraft] What's best Soundcard Interface for KX3

George, check that Data is set to DATA A. (Change it using the VFO B knob). Also widen the filter passband when in DATA mode and it should work. Also make sure that you have DATA A set to USB and not LSB ( Hold ALT to change it from one to the other). There are advantages in DATA rather than

Re: [Elecraft] What's best Soundcard Interface for KX3

I assume you are talking about JT-65HF on HF bands. I decode JT-65 signals down to -28. -26 is 100% copy level and get more marginal at weaker signals. I have decoded as low as -31 but that is rare. Of course I am talking about JT-65b on 2m-eme where sky noise is much lower. For WSJT10
