Have decided to play with PSK and FT4 or FT8 (if I can figure what they are)
However, I am having trouble setting up all of the various Menu and Config
settings to accept the CAT input and the CW or PTT from either HRD or Mix W.
I have got the rig to turn on when I start a transmission on
What is the status of any firmware change to allow digital mode per
VFO on the K3?
Not likely due to the synthesizer design.
Meantime are there any workarounds?
You can certainly use AFSK (MMTTY USB) and PSK63 (MMVARI) or 2 x MMVARI
simultaneously in DATA_A - one on each receiver/VFO.
73,
The simplest workaround is to use AFSK. If you are capable of
configuring your equipment so as to generate a clean PSK63 signal, it is
within your ability to use AFSK to create a clean RTTY signal that is
every bit as good as (or better than) an FSK RTTY signal.

It seems the current firmware will not allow me to use FSK on VFO A and PSK63
on VFO B. The annual national contesting series in the UK has a monthly event
that is RTTY + PSK.

No, the DSP has a fixed 4.2 KHz maximum frequency. The most recent
DSP boards also include a fixed analog

No. I have the 13KHz FM filter but the receive bandwidth is still limited to
4KHz.
I can appreciate that for use with PSK

I'm about to set up my K3 with my computer sound card for WSJT

necessary to retweak the Mic Gain / Line In control every time you

On a slightly different note, if you have problems with different
levels with different audio cards for different programs, take a look at
this program:

Very clever. It detects what program you are using and what audio card

For the many who responded to my question on hook-up for the K3 using the

It works with MixW using the two cables from the in/out of the K3 to the
mic/speaker on the computer along with a serial cable for rig control. Once

No, it only does serial control, and you need that for RTTY. To that
you must add input and output connections to/from your computer

Pardon for a dumb question, but I've hit that wall... again!
I talked to Dale at Elecraft and he suggested some of you may know the
answer as he had no experience with hooking up and making K3 work with a
computer so it will work using the sound card to have a full array of modes,
etc.
Connect Line In / Line Out on K3 and the Line In / Line Out on the sound
card and away you go.

Guess I misunderstood how the K3 did this and purchased the serial to

to downloading the firmware and very well. I expected this same cable

No, it is just a serial
Lynn,
Connect the computer *soundcard* input to the K3 rear panel Line Out,
and the computer Line out to the K3 Line IN jack. Use two stereo cables
with a 3.5mm stereo plug on each end (the plugs must be stereo even if
the signal is in only one channel - typically the left channel).

fldigi works well with the K3 on Windows and Linux. I haven't tried it
on MacOS but I'm told it works.
The RigCat XML interface for rig control works FB with it as
