[Elecraft] Data modes changing in K3

[Tony Osman]

Not sure if this is an elecraft issue or a N1MM+ issue, so I will pose 
the question in both groups.  I noticed this weekend in the CQWPX RTTY 
contest, that everytime I changed frequency by some action on the pc 
(N1MM+) the frequency would change correctly, but each time the data 
mode would switch from the AFSK A mode that I had selected to FSK mode.  
I would then have to change it manually each time.


Any ideas?

Re: [Elecraft] data modes (USB/LSB or DATA) using KIO3B sound card interface

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I have the K3S USB cable connected direct to one of the USB ports on the 
computer.  As to radio set-up, see page 33 of the manual for details.  I 
use DATA A mode for PSK & other data modes.   The software is usually 
FLDIGI, HRD/DM780 or WSJT-X which all work under Windows 10 successfully 
and do control all aspects of the radio. The DATA A mode is not the 
typical or normal USB/LSB mode in that it releases any TX EQ and CMP 
values used for SSB.


The computer Device Manager reports the radio under "Ports (COM & LPT)" 
as "USB Serial Port (COM 5)".  Depending on your computer, your port 
number may be different.


Audio, PTT and CAT control of the radio is handled by the single USB 
cable installation. None of the rear panel connections are used other 
than the USB port on the radio.

Probably a simple answer to this question -- I'm just having trouble
finding it.

Re: [Elecraft] data modes (USB/LSB or DATA) using KIO3B sound card interface

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

That K3 internal soundcard should appear to the computer just like any 
other USB soundcard.  That can be computer dependent, so no specific 
advice can be given.


Select that soundcard in your data mode application and you should be 
"good to go" other than adjusting the soundcard levels.


Use DATA A rather than SSB because the K3 automatically turns off 
compression and sets the TX EQ flat.
Adjust the soundcard output audio level to drive the K3 ALC meter to 4 
bars solid with the 5th bar flashing, and you are ready to transmit.
Adjust the soundcard input level to suit a reasonable display on your 
application's waterfall.

Re: [Elecraft] Data modes issue

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Are you sure you're hearing the audio from the K3 monitor and
not from other speakers attached to the computer?  What sound
card software are you using?  Are you sure it is configured to
use the soundcard attached to the radio and not the computer
default sound card if you have more than one (e.g., an interface
with built-in sound card)?

Re: [Elecraft] Data modes issue

[GREG FICHER]

Had a similar problem once.  Somehow the mixer volume setting for the
signalink was reduced.  It needs to be turned all the way up.

I'm not home right now but go to control panel, audio, it probably shows
whatever the default soundcard is on your system.  Change that to the USB
Audio Codec.  Open the playback settings and make sure the slider is all the
way to the top for volume.

Don't forget to change the default back to your system soundcard or your
computer audio will come out from the Signalink.

Re: [Elecraft] Data modes issue

[Don Wilhelm]

  Jim,

Are you getting enough audio into the K3?  Set the K3 to TX TEST and 
look at the ALC bargraph.  You should have 4 bars lighting solid with 
the 5th bar possibly blinking.
If you are not seeing that indication on the ALC meter in the K3, you 
are not driving the Line-in with enough audio.

The K3 ALC meter is also a VU meter on the lower part of the scale.  
Indication below 5 bars indicate no ALC is being generated - ALC action 
begins with the 5th bar.  So if you followed the old advice that you 
should not have any ALC indication for DATA modes, that old advice must 
be modified for the K3.

The K3 Line-in expects to see line level signals.  If you are using an 
external interface, some by default use microphone level for the output 
and you must change a jumper in the box to bring it up to line level.

73,
Don W3FPR

Jim,

Check to see if audio is coming out of your computer,

And set up K3 in data mode.
Not sure what program you use, I'm using,
However I have not been on psk for a while.

Ken,

The rig is being keyed, but I just tried turning VOX on, but no change 
in behavior. This really weird.

 Just got my new K3 and everything is great about it except, sound card
 data modes (PSK31, etc.) are not working. I put the radio in Data A
 mode. When I transmit, the rig is keyed, I can hear audio via the
 monitor function, but nothing is transmitted. I have tried cranking the
 Mic gain (actually the line in gain) way up, but that doesn't help. I
 have also confirmed the transmitter is not in test mode.

 Any suggestions?

  Jim,

I just checked the Navigator documentation on the website.  It does not 
state whether line level output is available or not, but there is an 
option called RF ATTN which by default inserts 20 dB attenuation into 
the audio output.  For use with the K3, I would think that should be set 
to No Attenuation.

Jim,

I'm using MixW, I powered up the K3 and you do not need VOX
to Key the K3.
I think Don may have hit the nail on the Head , check ALC.

  Jim,



Are you getting enough audio into the K3?  Set the K3 to TX TEST and 

look at the ALC bargraph.  You should have 4 bars lighting solid with 

the 5th bar possibly blinking.

If you are not seeing that indication on the ALC meter in the K3, you 

are not driving the Line-in with enough audio.



The K3 ALC meter is also a VU meter on the lower part of the scale.  

Indication below 5 bars indicate no ALC is being generated - ALC action 

begins with the 5th bar.  So if you followed the old advice that you 

should not have any ALC indication for DATA modes, that old advice must 

be modified for the K3.



The K3 Line-in expects to see line level signals.  If you are using an 

external interface, some by default use microphone level for the output 

and you must change a jumper in the box to bring it up to line level.

Ah, I noticed that this was working all of a sudden the other day. I have the
3.94 beta FW loaded into my K3, I happend to try PSK directly from RUMLog
(using PSK-D) and was sending PSK at full speed. I didn't try RTTY tho
Very nice! (tho yes not nearly as versatile as cocoaModem hi hi).

RUMlog can interface with the K3 now via the CAT only for RTTY operation. An
Audio interface is not required. The K3 needs the latest (Beta) firmware -
MCU 3.94 or better

Dave,  

One of the beauties of the K3 is that it does these mode all by itself.  All 
you need is K3 utility for Mac and use the terminal.

Re: [Elecraft] Data Modes Software for Mac

[lstavenhagen]

I'll second cocoaModem as I've used it a bit with my Mac/K3 (tho I'm short on
computers right now and am confined to an indoor antenna which severly
limits my ability to use a computer with my K3). It's excellent, IMO, and
has modems for a bunch of different modes (W7AY is also a career specialist
in this kind of work so it's no surprise that the data modes on it work
really well). It's very easy to use and really works superbly.

RUMlog is also a nice logging app with built-in keyers for CW and PSK, it
has some integration with cocoaModem as well. It talks to the rig through a
USB-RS232 adaptor, tho, so you'll need one of those to use it with the K3.

cocoaModem, tho, only requires audio cables between your sound card and the
line in/outs on the K3 (just key the rig with VOX).

Re: [Elecraft] Data Modes Software for Mac

cocoaModem has the better demodulators and a Macintosh interface.
fldigi has more modes/protocols but an interface that Mac purists
hate.

cocoaModem will inter-operate seamlessly with MacLoggerDX - the
premiere Macintosh logging software while fldigi will not cooperate
with anything!

Either will work just fine on an Intel based Mac Mini (which is
what I use for my Apple testing/support).

Re: [Elecraft] Data Modes Software for Mac

[Rick Prather]

I have used MacLoggerDX and cocoaModem for years and use RUMlog for sorting
out my QSL's and packet alerts based on my needs.

Since RUMlog has now incorporated some excellent K3 access it has become my
primary logger and also with it's tight integration with the K3 and
cocoaModem it's my main data mode engine.

RUMlog has an info panel with a bunch of information taken from the K3 and
also access to M1-M8 for either  CW or SSB DVR.  And, it also has 10 buttons
that you can use to key Macros.

I still use MacLoggerDX for it's look and feel and QRZ.com linking so I wind
up running both loggers and cocoaModem.

[Elecraft] Data modes

[Ross]

I have been playing with my new K3 (and enjoying it).
It looks like it will take over from my Orion II as my main tx.

A question.. Changing the data mode to AFSK A the bandwidth sets itself up for 
RTTY, as it is supposed to,
BUT when I go back to Data A the bandwith is still set up as for RTTY ie very 
narrow.
I have found the only way to set the bandwidth again to say 2.7khz is to 
readjust the width using width and lo

Is this normal, or am I expecting too much for the K3 to go back to a normal 
bandwidth when changing data modes
from AFSK A to data A

Best wishes to all

I think you are. AFSK A, DATA A, FSK D and PSK D are all the same mode
really (they are reported as the same mode to logging software as well.) So
it remembers just one filter selection.

[Elecraft] data modes

[Blachura]

Hello ,
Well my brain must have a little rust on it Couldn't figure out the psk
connetion setup. So posted a couple help messages on the site. Got great
help from several folks.
Did what they suggested and still was scrathing my head. So left the shack
for a while had lunch and came back and started from scratch. Duh had
the transmit cable in the wrong hole on the sound card. Between my eye site
and computer being on the floor, was an easy miss. Now all is working great!
And thanks again for all the help guys.
