Julie; I am certainly not an expert on this--I have my K3 functioning pretty well for PSK and talking to my Mac but I am just to this level! I am trying to get my KX3 up and running on fldigi--but that is for my play-time this weekend!
However, I would like to comment on a couple of things and you can get the more detailed info from the experts. I just hook my K3 directly to my laptop (two more cables--line in and out) so I can't comment on using Signalink. Yes, you need to activate a "lib" and/or "cat" file and check the box for it to be used, but don't have the program here at work to see which (yes, I am supposed to be working--but it is Friday!). Maybe I am different than many, but when I am using fldigi and working digital modes (I don't use it for CW) I do everything from the computer. I change bands, modes, freqs, etc., all from the keyboard. Maybe it is because I use the computer so much at work so I am comfortable that way. I use the fldigi log and then copy all new contacts over to RUMLOG because I haven't figured out how to link the two together. In contrast, all SSB and CW is from the radio and I only use the laptop for logging (with paper duplicate for nostalgia's sake!). Hope this helps. 73, Scott AA0AA; XE1/AA0AA >________________________________ > From: Julie Royster <jsdroys...@bellsouth.net> >To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net >Sent: Friday, November 23, 2012 11:18 AM >Subject: [Elecraft] PSK31 neophyte needs help please! > >I have made good progress with PSK31 , and thanks especially to David Moes >and Bill Frantz for taking time to help! > >I switched to fldigi and have made one QSO so it is transmitting and >receiving using the elecraft USB to RS232 cable. > >What do I do to enable fldigi to read the frequency from the K3?
