[Elecraft] K3 JT-65 HF xmit

2012-09-13 Thread cx7tt
Hello Jim,

I tried the first part of your answer but my computer does not show similar 
selections (Win XP) under sound/devices; nothing like you describe in the first 
two paragraphs.

I have tried both VOX and PTT w/no success.

However, we may have hit on something here with the headphones in computer jack.

After hearing nothing with the microham CODEC selected for both Sound in/out, I 
selected Creative Sound Blaster PCI for both input and output..aptly named, it 
just about blasted out my ear drums... there was a 3rd choice presented in the 
drop down menu which is: Microsoft Sound Mapper input/output.

Also interesting is that originally when selecting CODEC, it showed 02-mK CODEC 
and 05-mk CODEC but after selected CSB then reverting to CODEC, it now numbers 
them 01-mk CODEC and 04-mK CODECany significance to that?

Ok, so setup the JT65-HF for CSB in/out and on the mK II, selected CSB under 
tab Audio MixerI get the tones when software sends, the rig is keyed, but 
no power output.

While in this config, i.e., CSB on mK II, went to Audio Mixer tab and selected 
'Test signal', I get the toneWhen I select mK CODEC on same tab...no tone 
when selecting Test Signal ??? If I go to the K3 DATA A and change to AFSK, 
then 'Test Signal', no tone. However if I select either FSK or PSK-D on the K3, 
I get the appropriate 'Test Signal on the mK II.

So, I do not know why the CODEC is not producing tones for DATA A or AFSK...Joe?

Tnx again guys...this has me buffaloed...

 What else do you recommend that I look for?

Look at the Windows PLAYBACK Mixer and see if the stereo Pan pot is
shifted to one side.  When I use N1MM to run SO2R for a SSB or RTTY
contest, it moves the Pan pot to one side or the other to send my voice
messages to left or right radio. But it doesn't turn it back to the
center when it stops.  This will happen every time you're using N1MM. I
suspect other contest loggers do the same.  Also, either Windoze, or
other Windoze programs may be manipulating the Playback Mixer.

Playback Mixer LEVELS may also be the problem.  JT65-HF, and other
digital software, uses the WAV input to the mixer, so look at its level,
and also at the MASTER level control. Neither should be all the way up
or all the way down, both should be something like 2/3 up.

The thing I'm puzzling about is that you say you're using VOX and it's
going into transmit, which means you're getting audio into the radio.
OR -- are you using BOTH VOX and PTT?  Try VOX ONLY, and see if the
radio transmits.  If it does, it's getting audio.

Another idea -- for a test, plug headphones into the computer headphone
jack and see if you hear the JT65 tones when the software is sending.

[Elecraft] K3 JT 65 HF xmit?

2012-09-12 Thread cx7tt
Joe,
See response below:


Tom,

The K3 keeps separate input selections and input gain by mode ...

Make sure the K3 is in DATA A, and while in that mode make sure
Line In is selected and check the input level (mic gain).  The
menu Line Level is receive - not transmit.

Yes, am in TX Data and DATA AMain Menu Mic sel = Line IN

When the software JT65-HF goes into xmit, it keys the K3 but no output..I tried 
moving the MIC gain from zero to Max with no differences. CMP = 0 which is the 
default.


  Also make sure you have selected Line Input (rear) for FSK/DIGITAL
in Router's audio switching tab and confirm that you have selected
Headset Earphone (microHAM CODEC) as the Sound Output Device on
the Station Setup tab in the JT65-HF configuration dialog (assuming
you are using JT65-HF and not WSJT).

In mK II, Audio Switching: FSK/Digital= Line input (rear)

Yes, JT65-HF software: Station setup: Sound input device= 02-microHAM CODEC and 
Sound Output Device= 05 microHAM CODEC


  If you can run PSK31/63 and MFSK with MMVARI there should be no
difference in running JT65-HF.

With MMTTY and MMVARI, I am using 45 bps FSK D or 31 bps PSK D, not DATA A with 
either one.

With the mK II I seeSC  andLINE  LEDs lit; when the software 'keys' the rig...I 
see an additional LED,PTT2  is lit.

If I disconnected the mK II by pulling out the USB plug, should I hear 'tones' 
from the software when it is in the xmit mode? If so, I hear nothing from the 
computer speakers. Tony suggested disconnecting all interfaces and using cables 
to/from K3; I only have the 'headphone' jack on the back of the computer so it 
appears there is no 'line in'

I do have an O II sitting to the side along with mK; perhaps I should give that 
a shot to see if the DATA A xmit function is kaput? Is there a config menu 
selection to activate DATA A? What you think?

Tnx
Tom
