[Elecraft] [K3} Setting K3 and WSJT-X levels?

2016-11-23 Thread Don Putnick
I know about how to use the S-meter to set transmit audio level (4 bars). What I've yet to find anywhere is a discussion on whether to favor the sound card output or the mic gain. In other words, is it better to have a lower sound card output and a higher mic gain, or vice versa, or does it

Hello everyone, I have an extra 2.8 KHz 8-pole filter for the K3. I would like to trade it for a 400 Hz filter for CW. My 2.8 filter works perfectly. Anyone want to trade? Otherwise, I would buy a 400 Hz filter if anyone has one they would part with. Let me know your price.

You can not do FSK RTTY with the single USB cable - period, end of story. You also lose the benefits of the K1EL WinKey keyer - the K3 keyer may be one of the better ones around but it is not supported by most logging software and even Windows 10 is prone to stuttering when generating CW. 73,

Hi all, Thanks to my recent troubles reconfiguring my K3s for USB CW operation has given me pause and I was wondering if it's possible to use just a USB cable for all PC<>K3s interactions. I do CW, SSB (live and .wav files), FSK-RTTY, a little PSK when needed and a very little JT-65 on occasion.

OK, so I'm halfway there. I have CAT control back--I needed to change the RS-232 setting to USB. However, I am still out of luck in terms of sending keyboard CW via N1MM+. Seems to be a DTS/RTS problem and I’m trying everything. So far I can get the K3s into transmit mode, but no CW gets keyed.

HiThe command you are using to change the bandwidth is incorrect. It isBW; not BWX;You supply bandwidth in 10hz increments. Thus for 300hz you issue BW0030;This is likely the source of your error.I have a bit of experience in programming the K3 and I have found only 4 bugs, that's it.
