It seems one of the most frequent posts to this list concern
setting up, and configuring multiple serial ports for the K3 to do WSJT,
HRD, DX4Win etc.
Years ago I found the solution and although to some a bit pricey,
it has never failed me and is strictly plug and play. My station will
never be without a U.S.Interface "Navigator" now being marketed by
Timewave and available from HRO. This device provides 6 FTDI serial
devices on a built in USB hub that do 1) CAT 2) PTT, 3) K1EL WinKeyer,
4) FSK, 5) RS232, 6) Navigator Configuration. Additionally the
"Navigator" has one of the lowest noise USB Codecs I have ever found for
those sound card applications. A cable for your specific radio is
available at an additional cost, or you can as I did, build you own.
As I operate many different modes, from CW to Meteor Scatter using
many varied application programs from HRD to WSJT-9 using external
sequencers. I discovered, that to protect my external equipment, I
needed to consolidate all the PTT functions to one source. I have a
"white paper" describing how I accomplished this simply and easily, with
flexibility for future configurations, available upon request.
The final caveat, I have no financial interest in the Navigator
or its marketing. It just works and I have at one time or the other
tried most of the other interfaces and the Navigator is my choice.
