Re: [Elecraft] Small set up for KX2 digi

[Peter Wollan]

Looking at the WSJT web site, they have packages for Mac and for an
assortment of linuxes, but not for iOS.  Compiling the source code for iOS
is possible, in principle, but iOS makes it hard.

One of the smaller Mac laptops, particularly a refurb, might be a
reasonable choice.

And to do so the code needs to be built for the specific ISA including
linkage to the needed libraries.

Some have done it and you could ask for references on the WSJT reflector
for experiences.

Negative.  It not only runs on other OSs, inlcuding Linux and MacOS, it
also runs on other ISAs such as ARM.

Re: [Elecraft] Small set up for KX2 digi

[Barry N1EU]

I've been assembling and testing an ulralight portable FT8 setup for use
with my KX2, although it's based on an 8-inch Windows 10 tablet.  It uses
the *Syba SD-AUD20101* USB soundcard.  It works very well.  I've posted
some notes here:  http://k3s.wikidot.com/ft8sota

Does the Syba only have a Mic level input or does it also have line level input?

https://smile.amazon.com/External-Adapter-Optical-Windows-SD-AUD20101/dp/B006SF68P2/

But for FT8, the built-in audio in a laptop is probably fine.

Tests of external USB audio interfaces are here:

I have a very small sound interface, that I got from Amazon. It 
is about 7/16" thick by 15/16" wide by 1 1/2" deep including the 
USB plug. The label calls it a FG-UAU01A-1AB-BC21 and i remember 
it cost in the neighborhood of $5. I have not used if for 
digital mode operations, but it is adequate for computer 
conferencing. For use with line level signals, it will need a 
level reduction pad.
