[Elecraft] What to check when FT8 won't transmit (K3, Signalink)

Just to see whether I like it (I didn't), I set up for FT8 with K3, Signalink and WSJT on Windows 10. I installed Meinberg when I had trouble receiving. I made a shipload of contacts and decided to go back to CW. Recently my daughter (KM4UDF) who is recently licensed said, "Aw C'mon Daddy,

[Elecraft] FT8 DXpedition Mode test.

1.  I had fun. 2.  I read the Guide before, during, and after the test. 3.  I started to 20m and was confused.  Partly because I was not hearing the FOX and was seeing stations below 1K with "R-12" reports. 4. On 20m, it did not help that XE1GK was calling CQ on top of W1/KH7Z +/- 1HZ

Re: [Elecraft] PX3 & thumb drive...

It isn't a problem of file name..  The PX3 won't see the new thumb drives.  It reads the OLD drive just fine.  I don't have a problem with the name as I edit with the contest name in the filename and then copy/edit to the one the PX3 reads.  works great, except 16G drives - no go.  73

Fred, I guess that I was making the assumption [not good!] that the input would be protected by a gas-tube discharge device, such as those made by Alpha-Delta --- I try to always use one of these at the input of any radio. Of course, what is still needed is to discharge the excess charge, and
