[Elecraft] Thanks for all the feedback regarding Winlink & K3.
Folks, I appreciate all the feedback that I have received. I am now able to link up to Winlink stations reliably with my K3 and my SCS DR-7400. 73, Tony L.

[Elecraft] Winlink & K3 settings
Folks, I recently set up an SCS DR-7400 with my K3 on Winlink. I must have some settings that are slightly off, since my link up capabilities (HF) are not as reliable as I expected. So, I would appreciate feedback from Winlink users who are actively using their K3. Here is what I am interested in: TNC setup values in Winlink (RMS Express) K3 settings used. 73, Tony Lyon (KJ5XF) __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] HRD/DM-780, Elecraft K3 and soundcard
Folks, I want to thank _/*ALL*/_ of you who sent feedback!!! I narrowed the issue I was having with the RX down to the the following: a) The SQUELCH default (25%) was simply too high. I lowered it to 4% b) For some interesting reason, I had to drop the audio input down to about 15%. This level is WA lower than what I need on either MixW or MultiPsk. With the 2 tweaks mentioned above, now copy is where it should. That's what I really enjoy about this Elecraft email list. Lots of good feedback... 73, Tony Lyon (KJ5XF) __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] HRD/DM-780, Elecraft K3 and soundcard
Hi Sal, Yes, I went through the Signalink audio level config again and no change. The Signalink pots are also set just like yours. 73, Tony L. (KJ5XF) Hi Tony! Have you gone through the Signalink audio levels config procedure? Is it possible that its just Windows audio levels that are low? All my Signalink pots (except Delay) are usually at 12 o'clock. __ Slava (Sal) B, W2RMS w2...@arrl.net On Jun 24, 2014, at 9:47 PM, Tony Lyon wrote: Folks, I decided to try HRD/DM780 for first time after using another HF digital software program for probably 10 years.

Re: [Elecraft] HRD/DM-780, Elecraft K3 and soundcard
Hi Steve, I had the slider at about 25% and I moved it all the way to the left. Still no change. 73, Tony L. (KJ5XF) Tony… There is a SQUELCH slider near the top above the receive window (grayish horizontal bar moving). My slider was in the middle and when I moved the slider to the left all the way, I had solid copy. Where is yours set at? 73, Steve K6SAB On Jun 24, 2014, at 6:47 PM, Tony Lyon wrote: Folks, I decided to try HRD/DM780 for first time after using another HF digital software program for probably 10 years.

Re: [Elecraft] HRD/DM-780, Elecraft K3 and soundcard
Hi Gerald, My K3 is indeed set to Data Mode. The bandwidth is set correctly and I also have the default settings. I also have re-installed HRD/DM780 I also re-checked the Signalink soundcard settings and they are OK. Still no go... TX is fine, RX drops characters. 73, Tony L.

Thanks a lot for all of the great hints regarding the AF direct output. I REALLY hope that Elecraft considers adding an HF digital port for the K2 in the futire some time...

[Elecraft] HF Digital interface for the K2...
Jamie, Thanks Being able to connect to the J5 connector looks like it will do the trick. I looked in the K2 manual and I noticed that the J5 AF output is derived directly from pins 4 and 5 of the NE602 product detector. So, my next question is:. Does the NE602 have enough output drive to drive the AF input of a RigEXpert? 73, Tony Lyon (KJ5XF) ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] HF Digital interface for the K2...
Folks, After wearing out the front panel headphone connector (twice in 2 yearsdue to connecting/disconnecting soundcard cable for HF digital modes) it has become quite obvious that I need a dedicated HF digital interface port for my K2/100. I looked through the LA3ZA K2 mod information and saw that Pauli (EA3BLQ.SK) had a board that would solve the issue that I have. So, here come the questions for my fellow Elecraft K2/100 owners 1) Has anyone on the Elecraft list added a dedicated HF digital port to their K2? 2) Did they use Pauli's board? If not, does anyone have a similar alternative? 73, Tony L. (KJ5XF) P.S. I wonder if Elecraft is thinking about selling an HF digital interface option for their kits... I know I sure would buy one ;-) ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
