[Elecraft] CODEC UPDATE & CLOSE

[Mike Greenway]

Well the good news is that the K3S has nothing to do with my Rate In/Out 
numbers jumping out of range.  The reason I say that is I was watching 
the WSJT-10 program with the K3S powered off and the were still jumping 
out of range.  When seeing that I decided to check the analog audio 
again and couldnt believe it is jumping also.  Something has gone off 
the rails in the computer arena.


I disconnected everything from the machine today and found that anytime 
I have the Ethernet cable to the computer from the Xfinity router/modem  
connected the Rates start jumping  randomly and sometimes out of range.  
I changed the ethernet cable but not help.  Just for drill I put some 
torrids on each end with no change.    I am thinking of seeing if 
Xfinity will swap out the router/modem.  The numbers do not necessarily 
jump when there is traffic on the ethernet rx or tx so not sure how that 
is causing the audio Rates to jump.   I have no other clues right now 
but guess this case can be closed on the Elecraft reflector as this has 
nothing to do with the K3S.    Thanks to all those that emailed me..  73

Re: [Elecraft] CODEC

[Jeff Stai]

I bet Mike would appreciate getting back to his issue, which has nothing to
do with VOX...

Are you using a high end sound card/CODEC? If so it may just be that the
internal CODEC - while quite good - is not up to snuff for this
application.

I'd also try using different USB cables, though that doesn't sound like it
would be the problem.

Re: [Elecraft] CODEC

[Rick WA6NHC]

Presuming Windows 10 (previous flavors are similar):

1)  Right click the speaker icon, lower right; select "Open Sound Settings"
2)  When that panel opens, click on "Sound Control Panel"
3)  In playback or recording tab, select the device you want to change 
by double clicking it
4)  In the advanced tab of that device; change the default format to 
single/dual channel(s) and the bit rates desired.

5)  Ok your way back out, done.
6)  Report back to the group.

Mine are all defaulted to two audio channels, even though the mic inputs 
are typically mono only.  What I've found is that the software for 
decoding digital modes, isn't usually refined enough to listen to two 
channels of audio, or just one channel of choice, so dual decoding (one 
channel per receiver) is a challenge.  That isn't often needed for me, 
so it's not a huge issue.

Re: [Elecraft] CODEC

[Ed W0YK]

My experience differs.
When the K3S came out, I upgraded all my original K3 radios with all the 
available K3S parts.
I've enjoyed the simplification of the digital audio and the elimination of the 
Serial-USB adapter.  I seldom adjust the audio levels and certainly no more 
often than with the analog audio.  Across a weekend RTTY contest there might be 
a few very minor adjustments from 10 thtough 80 meters.
One annoyance is that the Windows level applet gives only mono adjustment for 
the K3 stereo LINE OUT but stereo adjustment for the mono LINE IN.  It appears 
that Windows is choosing stereo Playback control for LINE IN and mono Recording 
control for LINE OUT.
There must be a way to correct this, but I haven't found it.

[Elecraft] CODEC 
I had a K3 in service (now a spare) for about 8 years before getting a K3S.  I 
didn't do WSJT but some RTTY and PSK using the Line In/Out into my Lenovo 
laptop 
internal sound card.  Worked like a champ, started with zero and now have 255 
countries on RTTY.

I tried to use the K3S USB sound and got tired of the incessant need to fuss 
with drive and VOX levels.  I requested many times for firmware that would save 
VOX settings by mode to no avail. (When I had another issue, Elecraft Support 
actually told me that they didn't recommend VOX on digital modes.)

I've returned to using the analog audio in/out of the radio and the laptop 
sound 
card, which is higher quality anyway.  (I have a TASCAM US-100, highly 
recommended by the resident audio guru, but haven't found it to be any 
advantage.)  This also makes it easier to resort to the spare radio when 
necessary.

[Elecraft] New KE7X book

[Cady, Fred]

Fred, KE7X, and Vic, VE3YT, have announced a new book called “The Successful 
Ham Radio Operator’s Handbook – Best Practices for all Hams”.  This 267 page 
manual is aimed at the newly licensed ham who is trying to understand where to 
go next or the old-timer coming back to the hobby and learning about all the 
changes in radios and modes that have happened during years of inactivity due 
to a career and family. In it are explanations of how the various parts of the 
ham radio - the transmitter and receiver - work  plus how these are being 
implemented using software designed radio technology.  Operating techniques for 
VHF/UHF repeaters, HF radio DXing techniques, and the new digital modes are 
covered. Radio propagation, antennas, transmission lines, SWR and the mysteries 
of baluns are explained. Building your HF station, choosing a radio, connecting 
your radio to a computer, and mobile and portable operation are extensively 
covered.  The book follows KE7X's philosophy of presenting material in several 
forms to accommodate people with different learning styles -- reading, 
visualizing, hands-on -- with the many figures and text explanations.  There 
are hands-on exercises throughout the book that can help you learn more about 
any particular radio.
Please go to www.ke7x.com to find more details and to see 
how this book differs from other introductory books.
Thanks and 73,
Fred KE7X and Vic VE3YT

I also use that same serial connection to enable the logging program to 
note the exact frequency in use at the time of the QSO, or to have the 
computer be able to QSY on a mouse click.


It's not a complication, it's a convenience.  In the case of FT8, the 
serial connection is THE way to operate split in DXpedition mode.

Good grief.  I was discussing RTTY. Two tones separated by 170 Hz.  Why make it
