Re: [Elecraft] Ideas for an FT8 Radio

Two words, “WSJT-X 2.0”. :-) With five year old software, you wouldn’t be running any kind of FT8. I worked on software for test and measurement instruments at HP. Even twenty years ago, software was moving out of the box into general purpose computers. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj

Re: [Elecraft] Ideas for an FT8 Radio

One issue with an all-in-one is that computer technology improves much, much faster than radio technology. So after five years, the radio will still be competitive, but the computer might not even run current software. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my

That seems like a bad cable or the PC is not talking to the right port. You might also want to look at the section “Forcing a Firmware Download” on page 25 of the KX3 manual. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Dec 9, 2018, at 6:52 PM, D

At one point, CMP would reset whenever I changed bands on my KX3. I did an EEINIT and reloaded the config, which fixed it. Make sure you have a saved config before you EEINIT. The radio needs the config values to work properly. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http
