Re: [Elecraft] HRD/DM-780, Elecraft K3 and soundcard
Tony I have the same setup. I have not tried Olivia. I have worked all other modes. What mode is radio set too? Data mode? Is the decode button highlighted above the waterfall in DM780? Is band with set properly as not to cut off the signal edges both on the K3 and DM780? Once your on the signal barring any of the above settings, you should decode. Try going to the HRD configure page and set to default settings. If all else fails reload DM780 to make sure there is no corruption. Let us know what you find.

Re: [Elecraft] HRD/DM-780, Elecraft K3 and soundcard
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 tony.l...@austin.rr.com 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.

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?

Re: [Elecraft] HRD/DM-780, Elecraft K3 and soundcard
Tony, First make sure that you have a good audio connection from Line Out to the soundcard. Use good quality cables that do not pick up noise. What happens if you eliminate the Signalink - change HRD to use the computer default soundcard and connect from that soundcard line out to the K3 Line In - if decode is OK under that situation, look for the problem in the Signalink soundcard. The built-in soundcard in most modern computers is one of the HD types, and is much more than sufficient for use with data modes. On troubleshooting -- When you have a problem, suspect everything and eliminate the possible suspects one at a time. Substitution is always a good analysis tool. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/25/2014 7:42 PM, Tony Lyon wrote: Hi Sal, Yes, I went through the Signalink audio level config again and no change.

Re: [Elecraft] HRD/DM-780, Elecraft K3 and soundcard
Looking at what I sent, I got Line In and Line Out reversed. Tony is having problems decoding, so the Soundcard Line In and the K3 Line Out are the ones that are to be moved to the computer built-in soundcard. 73, Don W3FPR Tony, First make sure that you have a good audio connection from Line Out to the soundcard.

Tony You said you used fldigi or some other software before. Did you run Olvida? If so then hardware fine its a HRD setting. Confirm that and I will go check mine in that mode while waiting.

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
