Tom, You have to use DATA A with a soundcard program such as HRD or MultiPSK. Here is what I do: Turn off Tx ALC in menu. I use VOX instead of the PTT line. Adjust VOX and ANTIVOX as needed. Adjust LINE IN and audio output from soundcard so that you get the power output that you want to

I did a quick test using my K3 and 756ProIII. With an input of S9+40dB and the K3's Rx frequency set to 14.20, I set the signal generator for 14.201500 (for a 1500Hz tone). The K3 seems to have about the same max output whether using the Line Out or Speaker Out (on the rear of the

[Elecraft] S/N 687 1st PSK31 Contact

2008-04-27 Thread John Trager

[Elecraft] XFIL button K3

Why is it that when I tap the XFIL button on K3, doesn't it always go to the next filter? For instance, if I turn the rig off and then back on, it just continues to stay at FL1 when I push the XFIL button. I I do anything with the config menu, then it seems to work... Thanks, John
