And, Aaron, all you really need to transmit-by-typing any of of the digital text modes integrated into the KX2 firmware (at present: CW, PSK31 & 63, and FSK45 [RTTY]) is the KX2 utility (with your computer connected via the ACC [RS232 serial] buss) I’ve sent CW that way on my Mac—and then had

Aaron, you really don't need the Signalink, just two stereo audio cables (I used the ones in the KX3-PCKT cable set) a good soundcard in your PC or an external USB soundcard, and the KXUSB cable that comes with the KX3. This gives you the audio input/output you need, and the CAT control

John, that's exactly why I was asking about I/Q - to free up the phone jack but a wide spectrum display would have been nice in fldigi. Ask Barry suggests, keeping the I/Q jack open allows the use of CW Skimmer (use it on my Flex, not on the KX3 yet) or Win4K3. I own win4k3 but not fully using it

Kevin, The IQ output is not processed by the DSP. A signal above OR below the carrier will show up. There is no opposite sideband rejection. A signal from the headphone jack will have the opposite sideband removed or significantly reduced in amplitude. 73, Lyle KK7P On 12/2/2016 2:43

Kev, I tried that very early on and found that the signal amplitude was really not adequate for my tastes - but it did work. So I guess it all depends on your soundcard and its gain. Fldigi and other similar applications only use the left channel. A panadapter application will use both.

Consider disconnecting the RS-232 connection and leaving the audio connection. Then use VOX to key the transmitter. If that leaves the mode unchanged, then something from HamLib is changing the settings on the KX3. Cheers - Bill, AE6JV On 4/22/14 at 6:28 PM, d...@w3fpr.com (Don Wilhelm)
