[Elecraft] Proper Setup of K3 with SignaLink USB for running WSJT-X on a Mac
I am trying to setup WSJT-X for JT65 operation on my K3 and Mac but can't seem to get the program to work. My audio card is a SignaLink USB. When I try to configure WSJT-X to interface to my K3, I always get the message Open Rig Failed. Does anyone have any suggestions on the proper setup of the K3 as well as WSJT-X? Here is my K3 setup: K3 CONFIG settings: AF GAIN HI AF LIM nor 030 LIN OUT nor 075 PTT--KEY OFF-OFF RS23238400 b SPKRS 2 SPKR+PHNO K3 MENU Settings: MIC SEL Line In MIC+LIN Not APPL(I can't change this) Controls: CMP 0 MIC MIC LINE 20 SQUELCH 0 RF GAIN 50% MODE USB NB OFF NR OFF NTCH OFF VOX OFF AGC AGC-F ALT OFF PWR50 Watts On the SignaLink USB I have the Tx and Rx gain set for 50% and DLY set to 0.

Bob - have you modified the WSJT-X.ini file to point it to your SLUSB stuff? I had the same issue trying to get my iMac (and my MacBook Air) to properly do rig control. Here is what I had to do in my situation - your USBSERIAL name and location may be different: CATdriver=/dev/cu.usbserial-A501XNHZ CATport=/dev/cu.usbserial-A501XNHZ Jim / W6JHB On Wednesday, Jan 29, 2014, at Wednesday, 9:06 AM, Robert Nobis wrote: I am trying to setup WSJT-X for JT65 operation on my K3 and Mac but can't seem to get the program to work.

Re: [Elecraft] Proper Setup of K3 with SignaLink USB for running WSJT-X on a Mac
I guarantee you that is one problem! In addition to WSJT-X I also use MacLoggerDX (MLDX). It has a Radio tab in the preferences and I noticed that it was pointing to my /dev folder for the usbserial port and driver that it uses. I looked in that /dev folder and found that there was another - the one that the SLUSB opens up. So, I took a wild-ass guess that was what I needed and - bingo - it worked. If you use MLDX, don't use that same port name - they can't be shared. The SLUSB has one of it's own and you should see it in the /dev folder. Take a look and see if in fact there is something similar to that. If so - give it a try.

Re: [Elecraft] Proper Setup of K3 with SignaLink USB for running WSJT-X on a Mac
I can only address a few items let me preface my responses with.. I am running Win 7 *NOT* a Mac I am using DXLabs for the CAT control of the K3 in WSJT-X I am running a K3 and a SignaLink USB I am using the SignaLink Cable for the rear of the K3 LIN OUT should be set to nor 010 can't rem where I read it... but it was emphatic about the level being 010 or only slightly more due to potential for distortion with any higher levels I also run my SignaLink @ 50% for both TX RX all further TX signal levels adjustments to bring the TX up to 4 bars on the K3's ALC are done from within Win7's audio settings for the SignaLink USB (don't know how ur Mac does that...?) the Open Rig Fail (for me) was most often due to comm port setting being off the 38000 works for me and I have used both serial and usb_to_serial successfully here are my WSJT-X Configuration settings: https://picasaweb.google.com/k5oai.sam/Digital#5974382817374659602 other images here might be helpful, or not, since they are on Windoz ;-/ On 1/29/2014 11:06 AM, Robert Nobis wrote: I am trying to setup WSJT-X for JT65 operation on my K3 and Mac but can't seem to get the program to work.

I changed my settings to the following: CATdriver=/dev/tty.usbserial-AD02DW0Z CATport=/dev/tty.usbserial-AD02DW0Z CATportIndex=9 I have now been able to transmit, although I noticed that I don’t get any readout on the ALC - Not even one bar.

Re: [Elecraft] Proper Setup of K3 with SignaLink USB for running WSJT-X on a Mac
Bob, Glad to help and that your rig control is working. I had a devil of a time getting it working on my end. Exchanged several emails with G4KLA who wrote some of the install instructions. He was a big help to me. On my SLUSB I have both the Rx and Tx set at the 1:00 position, and the DLY all the way counter CCW. Those are about the same settings you have, so the SLUSB is good to go (you do have it jumpered correctly, right...? :-) I also assume you are running the K3 in DATA-A mode? When you press the Tune button in WSJT-X, does the K3's red TX light go on? I've re-jumpered my SLUSB so that I can run it with my KX3 so that's about as far as I can go on the troubleshooting. One other thing I found - if I tried to transmit JT9 or JT65 with my WSJT frequency set outside of the transmit pass-band, I would get no RF out. So, that's something else you can check. Make sure you are inside the area on the waterfall where all the green stuff is displayed.

Re: [Elecraft] Proper Setup of K3 with SignaLink USB for running WSJT-X on a Mac
Alrighty! Very glad to be of some help. Enjoy the K3 /SLUSB / WSJT-X setup. I've only made a handful of JT65 and JT9 QSO's but it does work. Most have been made with the K3 set at 20-25 watts. Now that I'm on the KX3, I'll be running 3-4 watts, unless I get the QRO-urge and turn on the KPA500, where I can run the RF output anywhere from 25 watts to 200 watts with the KX3 driving it. But I want to see how it goes with the QRP setup. 73 and good luck with the setup...

I changed my settings to the following: CATdriver=/dev/tty.usbserial-AD02DW0Z CATport=/dev/tty.usbserial-AD02DW0Z CATportIndex=9 I have now been able to transmit, although I noticed that I don¹t get any readout on the ALC - Not even one bar. Must still have something set wrong. Bob Nobis - N7RJN Goodyear, AZ n7...@nobis.net On Jan 29, 2014, at 11:25 AM, Jim Bennett w6...@mac.com wrote: I guarantee you that is one problem! In addition to WSJT-X I also use MacLoggerDX (MLDX). It has a Radio tab in the preferences and I noticed that it was pointing to my /dev folder for the usbserial port and driver that it uses. I looked in that /dev folder and found that there was another - the one that the SLUSB opens up. So, I took a wild-ass guess that was what I needed and - bingo - it worked. If you use MLDX, don't use that same port name - they can't be shared. The SLUSB has one of it's own and you should see it in the /dev folder. Take a look and see if in fact there is something similar to that. If so - give it a try. Let me know how it goes Jim On Wednesday, Jan 29, 2014, at Wednesday, 10:14 AM, Robert Nobis wrote: Jim, Thank you. This might be my issue. Here are the settings in my ini file: CATdriver=/dev/rig CATport=/dev/ttyUSB0 CATportIndex=9 How were you able to determine your actual USBSERIAL name and location? 73, Bob Bob Nobis - N7RJN Goodyear, AZ n7...@nobis.net On Jan 29, 2014, at 10:39 AM, Jim Bennett w6...@mac.com wrote: Bob - have you modified the WSJT-X.ini file to point it to your SLUSB stuff? I had the same issue trying to get my iMac (and my MacBook Air) to properly do rig control. Here is what I had to do in my situation - your USBSERIAL name and location may be different: CATdriver=/dev/cu.usbserial-A501XNHZ CATport=/dev/cu.usbserial-A501XNHZ Jim / W6JHB On Wednesday, Jan 29, 2014, at Wednesday, 9:06 AM, Robert Nobis wrote: I am trying to setup WSJT-X for JT65 operation on my K3 and Mac but can't seem to get the program to work.
