[Elecraft] KIO3B USB Question

If I am reading correctly in Fred's book.   I can connect the *CBLP3Y cable to a USB to RS232 adapter to my computer which would create a second comport from the radio to my computer.   For example (if I am reading correctly)* *The USB port could be used to for audio codec and rig control

Found the answer after doing a little more digging. This is a function of the CONFIG:LIN OUT:2 (or REV) setting, which was defaulted to 30 on my K3S. Setting this to 0 eliminated the Line Out monitoring of Line In. This is discussed in the KE7X K3S book at the bottom of page 210. The

Got a great tip from Elecraft support on this one, which I'll relate here for the next person who is searching for K3/K3S "T>R Latency measurement timeout" on Google or the list when operating with Winlink. The answer is to assign CONFIG:SYNC DT to a PF button (I used PF1) and then enable it when

First, I'd have to ask why are you using VOX?   I find that CAT control is 100% reliable and is equally as fast or faster than VOX.   Just be sure the DLY control on the Signalink is set fully counterclockwise.    Likely your VOX level is too high and AntiVOX level is too low.    I'd opt for

In addition to Dick's advice, while viewing the ports, make sure "Show hidden devices" is enabled.  Windows 10, I guess driven by Microsoft's infinite wisdom, will sometimes change a USB port assignment, but not totally remove the former assignment.  It then shows up as in use when the ports

I'm having a peculiar problem that I wonder if others have had and resolved. I'm using a K3 and SignaLink USB interface and WSJT software running FT8 with the current version of WSJT-X. The issue is that the VOX triggers momentarily at the beginning of each receive cycle. I'd be grateful for

When calling to connect with winmor you will always get the timeout message until the called station responds.  Once it connects the error message should go away.  It drove me nuts for a while. :-) FWIW, I use the CAT command option for PTT so I don't have to remember to set the PTT-KEY menu.

Carter: COM3 is sometimes used by internal modems, and there may be a conflict there. Has Windows been updated recently? Sometimes COM port assignments change without warning. Remove the USB connector from the computer. Then use Windows's Device Manager (a control panel applet), and open

The Hurricane Watch Net was active most of yesterday on 14325 and 7268.  They were soliciting and passing weather observations from the area.  Very well organized and directed nets.  I'm not hearing them this morning on 20m but it may be propagation conditions.  See here for more:

FWIW, I did some more poking around. Increasing the RF gain to present Winlink with a louder signal helps to alleviate this problem. Looking at the meter in Winlink, when it switches from TX to RX, there's some ramp time before it reflects the full amplitude of the incoming signal. Curious

Hi all, I heard an NPR interview with the city manager of a small town in the Florida panhandle this morning. He said that many nearby towns have zero communications right now, and he was “hoping to be heard” via radio. They’re pretty desperate. Cell towers and landlines are down. They can’t

Eddy, How much less than 100 watts. You can figure there may be an up to 20% error in the KXPA100 wattmeter reading - which will vary from band to band. Are you seeing at least 80 watts? If so, it may be that all is well. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/11/2018 8:20 AM, Eddy Avila wrote: I bought
