I have been having trouble in the wpx rtty test, my k3 has been having
issues with mmtty keying the rig. I have the in/out lines on k3 going
to in/out on sound card as they should, and the ptt-key set to drt-rts.
The problem is, part of the time the mic setting is set to abt 3-4 with
5 bars solid on ALC, if I go below 3 it drops to 3 bars flashing. I can
not get 4 solid bars with 5 flashing. But at times the k3 will stop
transmitting unless I turn the mic gain to abt 21 then it will start
transmitting again. I have had this issue all weekend. Could this be a
problem with my sound card? I have a second card in the computer but
can not get it too work right either.
Setup up as follows:
K3 out to line in on computer
K3 in to line out on computer, I have had hooked to microphone, but same
problems occur so using line out(headphones)
K3 ptt set to dtr-rts
K3 mic menu to Line in
Mic gain set to 3-4 when working and a lot higher when problems starts.
MMTTY sound card settings are : Line in-Reception,(Realtek soundcard)
Transmission-Speakers (Realtek)
Also have sound card settings set to Line in is set to 50% and Wintest
slider set to 70%
Any thoughts would be great. Can't enjoy WPX RTTY like this...
