Re: [Elecraft] Precautions or hints on use of Signalink USB with the K3 for PSK31 and JT65A digital modes

First attempt to respond to a thread on this reflector so not sure if I am headed in the correct direction. I had trouble with my K3 power hunting. That is at the beginning of the JT65 or JT9 transmission the output power would be 10 watts and slowly move up several watts during the 48 second

Mike, Your post was just fine. You are correct, the K3 behaves differently than other rigs, so you must drive the audio and set the power differently. The K3 power starts out lower and builds up to the requested level - that should happen in just a second or two. I *believe* it takes a

Hi Rick, Thank you. When I ordered my K3 I ordered the TCXO option, as I was planning on eventually trying the digital modes. Just wondering, what software do you use for the JT modes? 73, Bob On 1/19/14, 11:04 PM, Rick Bates happymooseph...@gmail.com wrote: I've found it best to use minimal

While I don't use the modes often because it takes too long for a QSO (with no real chatting), I have WSJT9, WSPR and JT65-HF ready to go. 73, Rick wa6nhc Tiny iPhone 5 keypad, typos are inevitable On Jan 20, 2014, at 7:53 AM, Robert Nobis rob...@nobis.net wrote: Hi Rick, Thank you.

I have ordered a Signaink USB for use with my K3, primarily for PSK31 and JT65A operation, and expect delivery on Monday. Does anyone have any precautions or hints on proper setup of the Signalink for use with the K3? I use Windows 7 running on a Mac under VMWare Fusion. 73, Bob - N7RJN

hope you bought the SignaLink™ USB with cable for the Elecraft K3's rear panel Line In/Out and PTT jacks, make it a snap to connect only catch is Win7 has separate controls for each piece of audio hardware, so you have to also set up the Win7 Playback and Record for the SignaLink USB, as well

Hi Bob - I've used the SLUSB on both a K3 and a KX3 with success. The K3 had it hooked to a MacBook AIr laptop; when I moved the SLUSB to my KX3, I hooked it to an iMac. Nothing special needs to be done on the K3. In my case I ran native in the Mac OS X environment. For PSK31 I used cocoaModem

I've found it best to use minimal K3 output (Lin Out 1) and maxing the levels on the SLUSB drivers. Ideally, you want a sprinkling of snow on the waterfalls, not a blizzard. I also max the driver TX level then adjust the Data A level to the proper level. The knobs on the SLUSB are kept at noon
