I'm using WSJT-X verson 1.8.0-rc2 with CAT control and having no
issues. Nothing exotic in my configuration, just using the single USB
cable between the laptop computer and the radio. I allow WSJT-X to log
the contact and then I export the generated ADI file to my LOTW and
QRZ.COM logs.
I've almost completed my WAS using FT-8 mode on 6 meters. Plus I've
worked a lot of DX on other bands. I find it is a fun, fast and very
easy mode to make contacts. Of course, if you are in to "rag
chewing", forget it. It is not a rag chew mode.

I noted that when my transmit interval occurred, there seemed to be
about a one and a half second delay before the K3 began to transmit. I
began an exchange of email with Bill, G4WJS, about this issue. I quote
from one of his:
"If you are seeing a 1.5s delay then that is because CAT commands sent
before PTT, even if PTT is "virtual" due to using VOX, are taking
roughly that long. The K3 series is problematic in that certain CAT
commands can take a long time to complete
On 12/8/17, Bill G4WJS posted a message to the hamlib-developer list
concerning a patch to k3.c to "Take out unnecessary delays in K(X)3(S)
back end". This was incorporated into versions of hamlib subsequently
distributed with WSJT-X. I've found that it greatly improved control of
the K3S.
So, use WSJT-X 1.8.0-rc2 or later, and use the version of
hamlib/rigctl/rigctld distributed with it.
