[Elecraft] FS8Call Eureka

2023-06-05 Thread Bob McGraw


Regarding using USB mode, if you have any EQ or processing applied, it 
will also be applied to the data signal on transmit.    It is best to 
use the Data/Packet mode on the radio because that mode automatically 
negates any EQ or signal processing.   Plus it is always generates the 
signal in USB for all bands.   The data convention is always USB 
regardless of band.

Incredibly, I have stumbled, bumbled, and fumbled my way to get 
JS8Call to provisionally work on the KX3. It is the equivalent of 
trying to sight your rifle in and finally getting your shot on the 
paper after using up nearly all your ammo. From there you can fine 
adjust your scope, ie., you now have something to work with.
My break through came after watching Dummyload's You Tube video 
'"Connecting the KX3 to the SignaLink." At the end he mentioned that 
the ICOM 7200 didn't need a SignaLink which made me deduce that the 
KX3 would for JS8Call. That and after all the endless permutations and 
combinations of different settings.?
I set my mic bias to "off", the ptt to on, and the AFX to "off" and 
made the cable connections as he suggested in his very concise video.
My SignaLink transmit and receive settings arbitrarily were both 
dialed? to @11:00 and the Delay to 7:00.?
The other issue was setting my Lenovo computer audio and speaker sound 
cards? to CODEC which is the generic one used for most Windows 11 
computers I think.


Interestingly, I did not select the KX3 rig option? from the drop down 
menu. I left it blank!?

On the KX3, I set the mode to USB.
Hurriedly scribbled this all down.? Hopefully I can get it all to work 
again tomorrow and to lock this in.

Merry 73's to all, and to all a goodnight!
Karl, AF5LQ
