I was helping a friend set up his K3S for FT8 this afternoon. Haven't played with one of those before, quite a challenge. Our main problem was getting audio into the transmitter. What finally worked w

That was the configuration I started out with, except for SPLIT, where I had NONE. I guess I don't understand how SPLIT works in this context. You said the audio is set to LINE IN. Is that MIC SEL on

First off, I am working with a K3S, not a 991. I have worked with Icoms, Yaesus, Kenwoods, and a few others, I am somewhat familiar with them. This is the first Elecraft, and it is considerably differ

Finally, someone who knows how to actually answer a question. Bless you, Sir. This is exactly what I was looking for. I was unaware there were multiple DATA modes.That was definitely not clear in the

From what I see, you have lost CAT control. I would check the following: 1. Go into Device Manager > Ports and verify the COM port your radio is reporting as. If it is not COM5, then change your confi

Well, that's interesting. You say the TEST CAT button turns green and the TEST PTT turns red (should be a toggle on/toggle off). Both these indicate you have good serial communication with the radio,

I've been using WSJT-X on the same computer since 2017. I have always logged the contacts, but never really paid attention to the logs until now. I went into the log directory and see the logs there o

The logging was only to the WSJT-X built-in log. I never uploaded them anywhere. Apparently, either a WSJT-X or Windows update started the log over again or somehow deleted everything prior to January

To be honest, especially since FT4 is relatively new, I would bet the majority of these people have no idea what frequencies FT4 use. While among the regular users of certain digital modes (PSK31/FT8/

I see several state QSO parties are now using the Field Day mode for their respective contests and it works quite well. Nevada, for example, has 17 counties, so they number them 1-17, then use the cla

Thanks, Bill. I was kind of afraid of that. I didn't know exactly how all that was encoded. BTW, the FD rules currently only allow 22 transmitters. I understand now how the encoding algorithm will onl

Reminds me of when my obituary was published in the local paper a couple of years ago. First I knew of it was when I got a card from a lady who does estate settlements. I asked who died and she stamme

While the link looks good in the email, the actual link it is trying to take you to is malformed. Depending on your browser, usually hovering your mouse over a link will show the actual link at the bo

To piggy back on that, shouldn't the same be true with killing the Enable TX button? Many times, in marginal contacts, I have sent RR73, the log window pops up, and the Enable TX button goes off, only

Nope. Although that setting is there, it makes no difference whether it is checked or unchecked. The Enable TX drops as soon as I send RR73. I believe that was a change to meet some regulatory require

My apologies. I did not intend to hijack, but expand upon it. There is a reaction to sending the RR73, which is popping up the log page as well as dropping the Enable TX. Both reactions are an issue,

Just curious, why are you using a SignaLink with the IC-7300? It has a built-in soundcard accessible via USB. The SignaLink is completely unnecessary. Michael WA7SKG Ed Oxer, W8EO wrote on 4/12/20 6:2

I saw some comments about meteor activity and thought I'd try MSK144 for the first time. I'm using WSJT-X v2.1.0 with my IC-7300 on 50.260. Not having used this mode before, I'm not sure what I am loo
