To my knowledge you only need a USB cable like used with a printer to
connect between the USB port on the radio and the USB port on your
computer. In the radio CONFIG menu set the RS232 value to USB. You do
not use the RS-232 port on the radio. See page 18 of the K3S manual.
The remainder of the set-up is handled in the WSJT-X application where
you choose: Radio = Elecraft K3/KX3, Baud rate = 38400, Data bit = 8,
Stop bit = 1, Handshake = none, PTT method =CAT, Mode = Data/Pkt, Split
Operation = RIG.
This should get you up an running. As to the friends TS-990, I'd
presume it to follow the same implementation method except the values
will likely be different depending on the requirements of the TS-990.

Everything is working perfectly. Well, 99.874% is working perfectly. The little
WSJT-X dropdown menu for band selection doesn’t follow band changes I make at
the K3S. The same problem exists between my friend’s Kenwood TS-990s and his
similar Mac running WSJT-X version 1.9.1.
I am told this can be facilitated with “a cable” between the K3S and the Mac:
RS-232 connector at the K3S and USB-A at the Mac.?
Is this correct? If not, what DO I need?
Do I need to make any Menu or Config changes to activate this?
I’d like to make this work so I won’t often have a ton of incorrect band
notations in the log.
Cheers!
