Frank,
My read of your comments is that it is all OK. If you are getting
power out, you're on the air. Nothing to do but operate. Pick some
strong station calling CQ and give him a call. And, see what happens.
There should be nothing else on the rig to fiddle with at this time.

Thanks. After I set mine up the same, when I press Tune or transmit in WSJT-X I
can see audio going out to the USB Codec output in the Windows audio system.
However, no sign of any action on the K3S. Besides toggling VOX on with the
button at the upper left of the K3(s)'s front panel, is there anything else you
need to set on the rig to make this work?

Frank,
Do use the K3 description on the radio page. This will allow the software
to change the radio frequency as you change bands and modes. Once, you are on
the band, frequency is a matter of the tone that is generated. And, VOX does
the rest. Pretty straight forward. It all becomes really clear after your 3rd
or so contact. :-) Have fun.

Barry,
Thanks. I was specifically wondering about entries on WSJT-X's Settings > Radio
page:
-- At the top of the page, is anything filled in for "Rig"?
-- The lefthand side of the page has the heading "CAT Control," so is anything
entered here (serial port, baud rate, data/stop bits, DTR/RTS, etc)?
-- On the righthand side of the page, I assume "VOX" is selected as PTT method.
What choices are selected for Mode and for Split Operation?
Thanks again,
Frank

Frank,
I use VOX for all of my digital operation to include AFSK, FT8, and FT4. I
really haven't done anything to the default setting that came with the radio. I
just set the line in to 20 and adjust the power slider in WSJT-X to get the 4
bars with 5th flickering on the K3s's ALC readout. Nothing fancy! One caution:
watch your PA temperature. It will definitely rise.

I've successfully used WSJT-X with my K3S for a fairly long time, using a
single USB cable for both audio transfer and CAT control.
Currently I'm interested in trying VOX in order to enable running multiple
instances of WSJT-X simultaneously on the same band (JT9 and WSPR on 474.2 kHz, if
it's of any interest). Could anyone who is using VOX for WSJT-X with a K3/K3S tell
me how they have the Settings > Radio pane in WSJT-X configured? I can probably
stumble my way through, but some pointers would undoubtedly make faster progress.
Thanks and 73,
Frank K6FOD
