Hi folks, HF Newbie frustrated with PSK-31 setup on my new KX3. I have tried everything with no joy. I need an ELMER! I've tried so many permutations that all of my hair has fallen out!
I have PC and Mac laptops, Digipan 2.0, Fldigi, PSKer (for iPad) and am missing ALL of the basic setup knowledge to get this stuff working. I've played all the Youtube videos too, especially KD0BIK's, but I'm still stuck in the basic hardware and software setup. I would like to first try PC Digipan, but am open to anything. Somewhere, there must be a simple step-by-step setup recipe to interface the KX3, its microphone and headphone cables and the mic input, headphone output from the computer. I also have a Griffin iMic that I've attempted to throw into the mix, again with no joy. I've read the Data Modes section in the manual and Chapter 7 Digital Modes of the Fred Cady book. They just add to my confusion. Looking at the Fred Cady book, Figure 7.4 and 7.5 and Chapter 7 sections 7.4 (107-108) and 7.7 (121-122), ALL remain a mystery to me, which hookup do I use? My assumptions so far: Low power, 5 watts or less I need to put the KX3 into Data A mode, not PSK-D I can interface the KX3 to the computer without the iMic or other external sound card (figure 7.5 of Fred's book)? (Should/how/why do I use the iMic?) I need to set the MIC BTN to OFF I would eventually like to end up with PSK31 working on my Mac (with Fldigi), but I'd like to get it working on the PC laptop first to help me understand all of its nuances. Arghhh … please help a newbie! 73, Dave, K6WDE dave.esq...@gmail.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
