[Elecraft] K3S and WSJT-X with a Mac?

2019-05-11 Thread Frank O'Donnell
Probably a FAQ, but I've searched list postings for the past few months 
and haven't found what I need yet.


My new K3S just found its way to my home about 24 hours ago, and at this 
point I'm trying to get it set up with WSJT-X and a Mac, using a single 
USB cable between the radio and the computer. Not unexpectedly, running 
into a few errors. Could I trouble any other Mac user here with a couple 
of questions re settings?


Thanks and 73,

Frank K6FOD

To make it clear according to *WINDOWS*

2 channel, 16 bit 44100 Hz (CD quality)
2 channel, 16 bit 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)

Directly from the Windows Sounds Control Panel ...

If you want to argue, argue with Microsoft.

Just for the record, the standard for DVD audio is 44.1 kHz 16 bit. I'm
not suggesting that there's a BIG difference in quality. :)

Not to hijack this thread but has anyone used WSJT-X 1.7 and JT65B 
with the K3s?

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and WSJT-X

2016-08-18 Thread Jim - N4ST
Wayne,

This would appear to be a problem unique to your configuration.
I have been running WSJT-X for several versions with my K3S without seeing
this problem.
No problems when using Windows 7, 8 and 10 64-bit home versions on different
PCs.  Not sure what you are using.
I am assuming when you say you are using "the sound card", you do mean a USB
connection to the K3S internal sound card. (?)

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and WSJT-X

2016-08-18 Thread Joe Subich, W4TV


The error is generated by the sound card in the K3S - you probably
have the [Windows] default format to the wrong sample rate for
WSJT-X.  Use Windows Sound Control Panel and set the Default Format
to 2 channel, 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality).

as a suggestion:
1. Unplug all attached hardware except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and K3S,
power on the K3S then power on the PC.. does the issue persist?
2. perhaps indicate what OS and hardware specs you are using?
3. Which port on the back of the K3S are you connected to and are you

That's why I leave it at 100%, turn down the "Device" level in Windows
Volume Mixer and adjust the K3/K3S Line In (Mic Gain) for the correct
four bar ALC level.  The K3/K3S Line In level runs between 15 and 25
for four bars depending on the level of the sound card device (master)
level and is easy to adjust.

I've always: 1) left the PWR slider in WSJT-X at 100%
 2) set the Windows Volume Mixer "Device" slider for the
sound card output being used at 70 - 80% (to keep the
sound card in its linear range/minimum distortion)
 3) adjusted the K3/K3S Audio input (Line In) for four
bars of ALC
 5) set the desired power level with the K3 PWR control

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and WSJT-X

2016-01-25 Thread Ian
I now have Mic Gain at LINE 7 per p. 88 of KE7X's book and the WSJT "Pwr
slider" at about -8.8dB to make the 5th ALC bar flicker.

Let me clarify a point.  Use the PWR slider on WSJT-X to adjust the number
of bars on the ALC indication on the radio.  Do this in 
combination with the {MIC}  Line Gain value on the radio.   You should 
have 4 on solid, 5th flickering.  Actual transmit power is controlled by the
PWR value as set on the radio.

Are you actually getting RF output?  Check with an in-line wattmeter.

WSJT-X is no different than other soundcard data modes.
Do you have the DATA mode input set to LINE IN?  If you have a K3S or K3
with the KIO3B *and* are using the internal soundcard, anything plugged into
the LINE IN jack on the K3/K3S will override the audio input from the
internal soundcard.

Do you have the data submode set to DATA A?
The audio drive should be set to produce 4 bars solid on the ALC meter with
the 5th bar flashing - that is the "No ALC" point, the 1st 4 bars are there
to help you adjust the audio drive level.  Set the MIC SEL to LINE and set
MIC + LINE to off.  Set the soundcard output slider up to at least 3/4 and
then adjust the Line-In (Mic) Gain to obtain the proper deflection on the
ALC meter (you can do that in TX TEST mode without producing RF).

If you have no indication on the ALC meter, that is good reason for no RF

You might try running the K3S LINE Gain at a lower value, in my case 15 
to 20, and running the PWR slider in WSJT-X a bit higher.  This is also 
affected by the SPEAKER level in the Windows Sound controller panel.  
Also under "Enhancements" make sure "Disable All Enhancement"  box is

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and WSJT-X

2016-01-25 Thread Ian
Thanks all for the helpful suggestions - turns out the audio drive levels
are pretty sensitive.  The WSJT Power slider on the right is very touchy in
combination with the K3S Mic Gain knob.  ALC can disappear in an instance!

Ian,

Are you actually getting RF output?  Check with an in-line wattmeter.

WSJT-X is no different than other soundcard data modes.
Do you have the DATA mode input set to LINE IN?  If you have a K3S or K3
with the KIO3B *and* are using the internal soundcard, anything plugged into
the LINE IN jack on the K3/K3S will override the audio input from the
internal soundcard.

Do you have the data submode set to DATA A?
The audio drive should be set to produce 4 bars solid on the ALC meter with
the 5th bar flashing - that is the "No ALC" point, the 1st 4 bars are there
to help you adjust the audio drive level.  Set the MIC SEL to LINE and set
MIC + LINE to off.  Set the soundcard output slider up to at least 3/4 and
then adjust the Line-In (Mic) Gain to obtain the proper deflection on the
ALC meter (you can do that in TX TEST mode without producing RF).

If you have no indication on the ALC meter, that is good reason for no RF
output.

Is the SENSOR cable fully plugged in at both ends?  You should hear a click

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and WSJT-X

CAT definitely working - the freq changes in WSJT-X when I spin VFO A.  K3S
set as default device playback and recording "USB Audio CODEC" on the
laptop. Plenty of PWR out when I hit TUNE on the K3S. When I hit the Tune
button in WSJT I get a steady tone.

I'll make screen shots if needed.   Be sure you have CAT interface 
working and then the correct AUDIO CODEC selected in the application.  
The radio should be in Data mode.  When you select TUNE you should hear the
tone in the MONITOR, radio should switch to transmit,  the PWR slider to the
right controls the audio level. The Speaker CODEC on the 
computer should be about 50%.   This should have about 4 to 5 bars 
showing on the ALC meter.   Line gain on the radio at about #20.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and WSJT-X

2016-01-25 Thread Jim - N4ST
The CAT should work, but you could always set up VOX on the K3S.
When you key the K3S via CAT, do you hear the tones in the K3S monitor?

Tnx Geoff - looks like I'm keying the K3S via CAT but no power out.  Power
set to 50w and drawing 2.5 amps (vs 1.25 on RX) but no envelope on the P3.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and WSJT-X

2016-01-25 Thread Tom Crayner
Ian,

Which rev level of WSJT-X are you trying to use?

I seem to recall 1.5.x had some issues with Hamlib and as a result some of
the PTT code was broke.

If you are running 1.6.0 I think the Hamlib stuff is fixed and you can use
K3/KX3 as a rig and then set PTT to CAT.

If you plan on running DX Commander at some point you can install it,
configure it to mange the radio under the config->port options of DX
Commander and then point WSJT-X to it by selecting DX Commander as the
"rig" in Settings->Radio.  Then DX COmmander does the heavy lifting and
avoids the broken Hamlib piece. This should work in 1.5.x and 1.6.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and WSJT-X

I use VOX for all digital modes, including RTTY, JT65, JT9, FSK441, 
ISCAT. Works great, even with an amp, because most rigs, including K3 
have an internal delay after keying an amp and before TX begins. That 
delay is adjustable for slower amps. The only time this isn't good 
enough is if you're using something like a big, very slow, antenna relay 
at the top of a tower for VHF/UHF.


My amps are a KPA500 and 35 year old Ten Tec Titan (legal limit with 
fast relays).
