Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

Hi! I got the below advice which worked for me: For WSJT-X and the K3S use: Mode = DATA Data sub-mode = DATA A MENU:MIC SEL = Line IN Make sure nothing is plugged into the "LINE IN" jack. Set the PWR slider in WSJT-X to the top, click Tune and adjust the K3 MIC GAIN for *four bars* of ALC.

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

OK - thanks Rich, Don & Kevin. 1) COM3 was my XG3 RF Signal Source USB Serial Port - silly me... 2) PC Sound Card is now Default - I had to plug something into the Blue Line In and Green Line Out jacks for them to be Ready so I could select them as default 3) Nothing in K3S Line In jack; U7 card

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

Both Rich and Don have given good advice. Make sure the U7 or onboard NVIDIA sound device is set as default so you don't broadcast windows sounds. Make sure the USB Audio Codec Speaker and Mic are enabled but not set as default. In the WSJT software select the USB Audio Codec as the sound

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

An additional "By The Way" comment - Windows normally sets the last installed soundcard as the default. Your U7 soundcard was likely set to be default when it was installed. You can set the default back to the internal soundcard (the NVIDIA) if you are trying to use the U7 with LP-Pan2. 73,

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

Bret, Do not set the K3S CODEC to be the default soundcard - the default soundcard will be the one that plays sounds from the OS (Windows Sounds), and those sounds should not be transmitted on the air. The "Recording" setting level is audio from the K3S to the computer (not K3S recording).

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

1. The U7 is not on COM3. Sound cards do not use serial ports. Perhaps COM3 is a virtual COM port created by LP-Bridge, or perhaps COM3 is the K3S's USB serial port, and COM7 is a virtual port created by LP-Bridge that you connect other software to. You need to get this straight for other reasons,

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

Kevin, I do find the Serial Port for the K3S as COM7, and also have a ASUS Xonar U7 external card on COM3, running through a LP-PAN2 I'm also working to configure. That's a somewhat separate topic. I have several sound cards, it seems. My Windows 10 PC Device Manager lists: High Definition Audio

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

Hi Bill - We might be talking two different things. WSPR & WSJT-X have an option under band hopping to send a 2-3 second tune signal before each RX so that an ATU can recall the tune parameters for that frequency from memory. That's not happening for me. Bret/N4SRN -- View this message in

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

It isn't supposed activate the auto-tune. It provides a TX signal to allow you to adjust your ALC and maybe check SWR. If you want to use ATU, just tap Tune button on K3. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Sep 17, 2016, at 9:50 PM, MaverickNH wrote: > > Hey

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

Bret, Reduce the soundcard level setting in your computer so you have a greater range of control with the MIC Gain setting. Adjust so you get 4 bars solid with the 5th bar flashing. 7 bars is too much - you are driving into the ALC region. The No ALC point for the K3 and K3S is at the 5th bar.

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

Hey Kevin - sorry, edited my post to note I'm being heard while you were replying. Sorry about that - your comment were otherwise on the mark. One remaining niggle - the WSJT-X "Tune" option in Band Hopping doesn't seem to trigger my K3S ATU TUNE. Not sure why... Bret/N4SRN -- View this

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

Sounds to me llike you have the wrong sound card line out setup. When you plug the USB cable in the computer there should be three entries in device manager in control panel once the drivers are loaded. One under the "ports" heading which should say "USB serial port" write down the Com port

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

Thanks for the replies all. Just back from travel - sorry for the silence. OK - on DATA A now and getting Rx on the waterfall. So Rx but no Tx. Nothing plugged to rear LINE IN jack, and MIC SEL to LInE In. The MIC level was indeed low, and bumping it to level 6 yields an ALC meter raeding of 7

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

Ed, The internal soundcard in the K3S should show up as a separate USB soundcard (Codec) in your computer. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/14/2016 8:43 PM, Edward R Cole wrote: I confess I do not use WSPR-X very much but I checked my version and the K3s is not shown in setup. Plenty ways to chose a com

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

I confess I do not use WSPR-X very much but I checked my version and the K3s is not shown in setup. Plenty ways to chose a com port and a soundcard, but one does not use a computer soundcard with the K3s connected via USB port. Just wondering if this could be the issue? I see you can chose

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

Bret, One more thing - if you are using the K3S internal soundcard, make certain you do not have anything plugged into the LINE IN jack. A plug in LINE IN overrides and disconnects input from the internal sound card. 73, Don W3FPR

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

Bret, How do you have the LINE IN level set? Try increasing it to see if you can get a waterfall display. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/14/2016 11:35 AM, Charles wrote: Hi Don - I'm running on a K3S rather than a KX3 so working with the internal sound card.. I switched to DATA Mode and Data A but

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

Where do you have your soundcard level set? Set it at the 75% point or a bit higher. One "eccentricity" of the KX3 is that *if* the audio input is too high the KX3 will protect the audio input by shutting it down. Start with the MIC GAIN at a low level and bring it up slowly until you find

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X and K3S Tx

I've used that in my set-up of app and rig, but no go. I might be missing something simple as a K3S newbie. With USB as mode, and VOX enabled, perhaps Tx is not enabled? When the app goes to Tx, or it do a Tune from the app, the K3S Red TX LED comes on, but ALC doesn't budge. -- View this
