As far as I can see, setting up MixW with the K3 should be no harder than with any other radio. You just need the serial cable for CAT, which you already have for firmware uploads, and a pair of audio cables between line in and headphone out and the corresponding sockets on the back of the K3. Despite the suggestion in another thread that a 10:1 attenuator is needed for the TX audio drive from the PC, I haven't needed one. The K3 should be placed in DATA A mode. In other words, AFSK will be used. MixW does not support the K3 (unless this has been added in the latest version) so you would have to select K2 (NB this appears under Kenwood!.) There may be an issue with the frequency display, as I seem to recall the K2 is not consistent with the Kenwood radios (which MixW's Elecraft support is based on) in the sidebands it uses in data mode, and I don't know if the K3 is consistent with the K2 either, but if you notice a problem try telling the software the K3 is a TS-2000. ----- Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com Zerobeat Ham Forums: www.zerobeat.net/smf -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/RTTY-ON-K3---PY5EG-tp16946058p16982422.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
