[Elecraft] WSPR using K3/Dell Laptop/VISTA

2011-05-31 Thread stan levandowski
I'd like to hear from anyone successfully using WSPR with the combination of K3/Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop/Vista Basic. I'm just operating in 'receive' mode at this time and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it works it seems to work well and properly; when it doesn't work I

FLDIGI does not require HAMLIB for rig support. A new version of WSPR requires the use of hamlib for rig support. The K3 support is broken in hamlib. Since the question was specifically about problems with fldigi using hamlib and the K3, the response was appropriate (and accurate). I know

Well since hamblib is 100% free and open source software ANYONE who wishes to improve the hamlib support for the k3 is completely free to do so I would expect any shortcomings with K3 support under hamlib to get fixed in fairly short order In addition to this WSPR can use com port signal line

The K3 support is (and has been) broken in HAMLIB on the Windows platform. Fldigi, WSPR and other software that requires HAMLIB for rig support will not work reliably with the K3. It's up to the maintainer of the Windows port of HAMLIB to fix the issue. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 1/3/2011

The K3.XML file available from the FLDIGI site works completely, reliably, and correctly inside FLDIGI (with the K3 in RigCAT and WIN XP or WIN 7). I would be glad to supply settings if requested (however, that is not what the gentleman asked for). FLDIGI does not require HAMLIB for rig

I started experimenting with WSPR over the weekend using my MacBook Pro 13 in with the Intel processor running Windows XP using Parallels virtual machine. I have the audio connected through an iMic external USB sound-card and the K3 is connected to the Mac with a generic USB to Serial card

Phil, There are reported issues with use of Prolific-based USB/Serial adapters with Visual Basic applications. Perhaps the WSPR software you're using is another case of this. The usual suggestion is to get a USB/Serial adapter that uses the FTDI chip instead... ~Iain / N6ML On Mon, Jan 3,

Phil, the parameters I use with WSPR are: port COM1 (of course, this depends on your port assignment; use Device Manager, Properties to set it); Rig Number 229 Elecraft K3; Serial rate 4800; Data bits 8; Stop bits 1; handshake None. Click Enable CAT, use PTT DTR (not PTT CAT). WSPR does not use
