I opened N1MM+ to check operation with RTTY in the hope that if it worked, its settings may be a clue to what was wrong for the other soundcard-controlled digital modes. I initially noticed the RTTY window would populate what I sent but still no power out. On a hunch I pushed the XMIT (PTT) button to force the K3 into transmit and sent a message. This time I got power out and heard the RTTY signal in the headphones. I then held the VOX side of the BAND button to activate the VOX, selected a message, and it worked.
I opened WSJT-X, picked a frequency, made sure the VOX is on, and it now works. One of the pitfalls of small transceivers with many multi-function buttons that require specific timing to activate the different functions is its easy to screw things up. Apparently I was manually changing bands while operating WSJF-X and held the button too long, thus shutting off VOX. With no warning banner (Do you want to shut off VOX?) or a momentary flashing of the VOX text on the K3 display to notify me, I never noticed it was off. Tnx to those who pitched it with suggestions. Lesson learned for digital modes - make sure VOX is on! 73 de Ed ____________________________________________________________ Sad News For Royal Family track.volutrk.com http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/5d084bae5d5114bae2296st03vuc ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
