I had tried 1.6 earlier this year, but for some reason did not stick with it. I was determined to check out 1.7 more closely as I have applied many patches to Hamlib I received from Bill, G4WJS, and Mike, W9MDB, who are working with the development of WJST-X. I simply followed the user guide's setup and it all works for me. > And BTW congratulations with your JT65 QSO. I hope you found it worthwhile > and will continue using that mode! So far I noticed that it's given life to what otherwise seemed like a "dead" 15m. Best DX was FK8HN in New Caledonia about an hour ago. That would be a new one if he uploads to LoTW as we're already confirmed on eQSL. So far, I have found that it's not quite like shooting fish in a barrel. A lot of my calls went unanswered as I could see some other station being worked by the station I had called. 73, Nate, N0NB -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and WSJT-X 1.7
My K3 has FW 5.50 and I made my first JT65 QSO with WSJT-X 1.7 today. I have the configuration as recommended--Mode :Data/Pkt, Split Operation: Rig. I am also using CAT for the PTT Method. I've made a couple of calls with the radio in Split mode and VFO B is 1 kHz lower than VFO A. I am definitely seeing power out. As I'm not using VOX, could that be related? 73, Nate, N0NB -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and WSJT-X 1.7
This one change of "Mode=None" solved my K3/Microham MK II issue. I now have WSJT-X v.1.7 working perfectly. Thank you!!!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and WSJT-X 1.7
It seems like I get my K3 and the new 1.7 version of WSJT-X to work together if I set up the program for only Split = "Fake it", but not Mode = "Data/Pkt" (so it is set for "None"). Two of these commands seems to be too much for the timing, but one alone is fine. Joe Subich, W4TV-4 wrote > Is this when transmitting?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and WSJT-X 1.7
Hi Joe Thanks for the explanation. It sounds like this is it as it explains why the K3's VOX has to be reengaged in order to continue transmitting. - Sverre, LA3ZA K2 #2198, K3 #3391, LA3ZA Blog: http://la3za.blogspot.com, LA3ZA Unofficial Guide to K2 modifications: http://la3za.blogspot.com/p/la3za-unofficial-guide-to-elecraft-k2.html -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-and-WSJT-X-1-7-tp7624923p7624934.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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] K3 and WSJT-X 1.7
Is this when transmitting? If so, try setting Mode = "None" and Split Operation = "None" in the WSJT-X File -> Settings -> Radio tab. You may want to contact Elecraft Support to see if you can get access to the field test firmware (5.56). WSJT-X can (and often does) send the split or data sub-mode commands to the K3 *AFTER* PTT has been activated. Receiving a Split or data sub-mode command while in transmit will cause the K3/K3S/KX2/KX3 to mute transmitted audio. The K3/K3S/KX2/KX3 all ignore the front panel split and mode buttons while in transmit, one would assume that software developers would do the same thing and not use commands that are forbidden from the front panel while in transmit. Unfortunately, the developers of WSJT-X chose to ignore that simple fact (in spite of being warned on many occasions of the potential for improper operation). Wayne has modified the firmware to mask the problematic commands (FA, DT, FT, and FR,) beginning with firmware version 5.56 for the K3/K3S. However that version has not been released for public beta according to the web page. 73, ...

KY7M describes it as follows: "I have been transmitting perfectly in WSJT-X 1.6. As soon as I install 1.7, my transmit light goes on, but no audio goes out unless I turn off VOX and turn it on again. " I have the same symptom and I could sort of resolve it by changing the audio output level up and down on the WSJT-X program (Pwr slider). But in the end it was so annoying that I reverted back to the old version, 1.6.
