With the K3 & the K3s, I found getting WSJT-X to play nice was an oddity; 5% of the time it would work and 95% of the time it did not (The % is relative to my experience, not exact %). All Ham programs used LP-Bridge with no issue except WSJT-X.
I finally was directed to Win4K3suite as Tom just mentioned. It resolved all the issues I had and I was totally happy with his software. I was not happy with several things regarding WSJT-X and I could see people asking for the same things on the email forum but these changes didn't come. A VE friend suggested I try JTDX and though it does not do some things I like, like MSK for 6M, I found it to do everything I liked and it has much the same interface as WSJT-X. It is also a free program and now that I am using it, I no longer use WSJT-X, for me, there's no need to. http://jtdx.tech/en/videos-guides Look to the bottom of the downloads column on the right & the latest version for windows is JTDX v2.0.1-rc137_6 My 2 pence & 73, Gary KA1J > Maybe the collective wisdom of this group has an answer not to be > found elsewhere. > > Currently, I use DXBase for logging and an SDR-IQ running SpectraVue > software for a panadapter.
