Alrighty!!!!! Very glad to be of some help. Enjoy the K3 /SLUSB / WSJT-X setup. I've only made a handful of JT65 and JT9 QSO's but it does work. Most have been made with the K3 set at 20-25 watts. Now that I'm on the KX3, I'll be running 3-4 watts, unless I get the QRO-urge and turn on the KPA500, where I can run the RF output anywhere from 25 watts to 200 watts with the KX3 driving it. But I want to see how it goes with the QRP setup.
73 and good luck with the setup...
