Re: [Elecraft] PSK31 on K-3

2009-04-18 Thread Thomas J. Hoedjes


hi there

I am using a microkeyer with an internal
soundcard..
does a great job..

73 de Tom


Ron, 
 
 May I suggest a USB soundcard? The EMU 0202 is
a good one. That will 
 free up your internal soundcard for other
things (like Skype).

To run Skype and PSK31 *simultaneously* you'll need a second soundcard 
on your computer.

There are lots of choices if you want to add a card for the K3.  I've 
had good luck with the SignaLink USB product.  I normally use a 
RigExpertPlus for my K3 for serial port, audio, FSK etc.  I know others 
have had excellent results with MicroHAM's products as well as the US 
Interface Navigator.

If you can find one, a Creative Labs MP+ is a USB soundcard that used to 
sell refurbished for $19.  I've used one of these and it works very well.

I've successfully avoided Vista here so I can't comment on drivers for 
any of the above.


YMMV

Lyle KK7P

You could get a USB audio device and dedicate it to the radio interface,
or(/and) get a USB headset to use with Skype.

EMU-0202 is overkill for PSK, IMO - you should be able to find something
for a fraction of the cost that'd perform fine. You don't need 192kHz
sampling for this application ;)

There is a PSK D mode too, which supposedly allows PSK input via the
FSK pin on the accessory port, but I haven't tried that (or thought
through how it'd work).

Well then the manual (admittly not the latest version) that I have is
wrong.

Someone should fix the manual then, cos it says (page 31):

 PSK D is a Direct-transmit mode for PSK31. 
 It’s the only mode that decodes and displays 
 PSK31 signals with the text decoder (pg. 33). 
 Like FSK D, PSK D lets you transmit via 
 FSK IN, ASCII, or the keyer paddle (pg. 34). 
 You can also use auto-spot with PSK D if the 
 tuning aid is displayed (CWT, pg. 34).

Oops .. sorry about the QLF ... I decided to change wording after
checking the latest PDF manual from the website, but forgot to delete
the old text!

So, yeah, the latest manual still implies that FSK IN works for PSK D.
