Being mainly confined to evening operation when the higher bands are closed to me at this time of year, I decided to try out PSK31 on 40 and 80m. My mentor (George G3ICO) is a very experienced CW operator who always gets much better DX with his QRP (5W) KX3 than anything I can do with SSB and 100 watts on my K3, so I figured PSK31 could be a way to get some of that! So far I have just used the K3 Windows monitor software and the built in K3 SDR PSK31 feature. After a few revisions of my stored macros via the monitor I am doing OK with several nice QSOs, even if no great DX so far. Thus encouraged, I plan to get an external data modes box, namely the Micro Ham Micro Keyer II. Would anyone like to comment on the relative results of K3 SDR and Monitor versus FLDIGI/ HRD software (or similar) and a Micro Keyer II type interface? I might even try RTTY next!
