Re: [Elecraft] setting up digital on k3

2017-10-20 Thread Nr4c 
Totally untrue!

Where did you get this information. I have many FT-8 contacts in DATA mode. 

AFSK A and FSK D modes are LSB modes for RTTY. 

DATA A and PSK D are USB modes for PSK and DATA A works with other USB modes 
like JT65 and FT8.

Re: [Elecraft] setting up digital on k3

2017-10-20 Thread Mark E. Musick 
Hi Robert,
Data A does use USB which is normal for all digital modes except RTTY. For
RTTY you should use AFSK A which is LSB. Of course, there is also FSK D for
transmitting RTTY.

Re: [Elecraft] setting up digital on k3

2017-10-20 Thread Don Wilhelm 

Robert,

There are 4 data submodes in the K3.  DATA A is for soundcard digital 
and is the default sideband same as USB except that compression is 
turned off and any Equalizer settings you might have for SSB are set to 
flat.


AFSK A is specifically set with defaults for RTTY from a soundcard - 
default sidenamd is LSB.


PSK D (direct) can be used for PSK31 or PSK63 if you use the KY commands 
to send ASCII to the K3 or you can key from the paddles with CW and they 
will be sent as PSK.


FSK D is similar to PSK D, but you can also use the FSK IN pin in the 
ACC connector to send FSK driven RTTY.

Not true.  One should use DATA A which transmits as USB but disables the
compression and TX EQ.

> Data modes on k3 are setup for rtty

DATA A is correct for FT8/JT65/JT9 as well as PSK31/PSK63/PSK125 and any
other audio (subcarrier) based data modes.

AFSK A is the correct mode for AFSK based RTTY as it transmits LSB and
includes an audio filter centered on the mark/space tones to clean up
any hum/noise/clipping/etc. from the sound card or due to over driving
the audio input.

The secret to using DATA A and AFSK A is to connect the sound card to
the "LINE IN".  Select DATA mode and then use MENU:MIC SEL = LINE IN.
Once you have selected LINE IN (*NOT BEFORE*) adjust MIC GAIN for
four bars of "ALC" with the fifth bar flickering.  You *CAN NOT* set
mic gain in SSB or with MENU:MIC+LIN=ON because the mic gain will
adjust the mic input (front or back) and not the LINE input.

Re: [Elecraft] setting up digital on k3

2017-10-20 Thread Josh 
Data A is absolutely the correct mode for JT65 & 8. You don't want any comp or 
TX EQ you have with sideband.

Re: [Elecraft] setting up digital on k3

2017-10-20 Thread Don Wilhelm 

Don,

How do you have the soundcard connected to the K3?  What soundcard are 
you using?

Are you using the Line In jack on the back of the K3?
If so, do you have MIC SEL set to LINE in Data A mode?

You might plug the cable you have connected to K3 LINE IN to an audio 
amplifier or computer speakers to see if you can hear the soundcard output.


If you have upgraded the K3 with the KIO3B and are using its internal 
soundcard, you must have nothing plugged into the LINE IN jack.


For setting the K3 audio level, you may want to read the instructions on 
my website www.w3fpr.com - scroll down to the bottom of the left column 
and click on the link.

Re: [Elecraft] setting up digital on k3

2017-10-20 Thread David Bunte 
Don -
I had exactly the same problem and got it going a couple of days ago,
thanks to help from W4TV on the microHAM list.
The 'magic' setting that got things going for me was to go into the K3 Main
Menu, while the radio was in the DATA A mode, and find MIC SEL and set it
to LINE IN.
Then exit the menu and set the front panel MIC GAIN so you have 4 bars
solid, and the 5th bar blinking on the ALC meter. I did that by putting the
K3 in the TEST mode, so I would not be putting out any RF, and then clicked
on the TUNE tab in WSJT-X.
I hope that gets you going. I am no expert, but that is what made it work
for me. Shortly after doing that I made my first FT8 QSO.
Best of luck and very 73 de Dave - K9FN
