Hi Ian,
Thanks for the follkowup and clarifications. I too was caught in this dilemma.
I would think too that digital software would use, well, DATA mode
transmission! But on 7.078 / 40 meters, the JS8Call would not enter a frequency
if my KX3 was transmitting on LSB. It did promptly enter the frequencies for 40
and 80 meters when I switched the KX3 mode to USB.

Clarification - they run DATA or USB. I apologize for the omission in my first

Karl,
Just one correction for you - the WSJT-X modes, of which JS8Call is a branch,
all run upper side band, regardless of which band/frequency you're using.

Is there an up-to-date source in the Elecraft community for the Elecraft KX3
on how to install/runJS8Call version 2.2.0 from scratch outthere?
I have the standard KX3-PX3-KXPA100 set up with the latestfirm ware updates
connected to my laptop with Windows 11 10thgeneration Intel processor etc.
computervia the final RS232 outlet on the KPA100with the 3.5 mm and USB cable
that has two lights a green and a red light onthe USB plug.
I down loaded the latest version of JS8call, entered my callsign and the grid,
but I keep getting a failure message “hamlib could notconnect to the rig.”
I can not select from the menu the 7.078 frequency to post inthe upper left
corner.
There is no signal strength vertical bar indicator lightingup on the transmit
window in the lower left of the computer screen.
When I select mode on the KX3, do I select a data mode orkeep it on the LSB for
the 40 meter band?
The red transmit light on the KX3 does not illuminate when Itry to send a
message from JS8Call. Is this dependent on a VOX setting?
Test send on CAT always indicates red or failure to send.
Do I need a Signalink soundcard to make this connection? Ihave one wired for
the KX3 but really don’t want to use it as I already haveenough wires all over
the place. I thought these modern high end computers alreadyhave a built in
sound card.
As a very frustrated owner of KX3s because of antenna and 100Wpower
limitations, I had decided to try to try some QSO’s using FS8call. I havebeen
able to sign in on the Sunday night 3.784 9:00EST Elecraft net call-in only
two occasions,admittedly with the poor bands.
Nothing in Caddy’s book, and the You Tube videos are aFrankensteinian patchwork
of outdated limited context how tos. Am I under afalse impression, but isn’t
FS8Call essentially a game changer on the HF communications,the comeback in CW
notwithstanding? Does Elecraft need to put out anupdate/addendum on how to
configure this mode like it did for PSK31, RTTY , andCW etc?
Thanks for any suggestions, even those that are “sillyrabbit, didn’t you know
that you have to do this_____?”
