Re: [Elecraft] K3 psk31 transmit problems
Hi Frank, Does the K3 show any indication of getting the audio signal from your computer line out ( or speaker out) cable? You can put the K3 into TEST mode and not transmit while you are checking levels. Also you need to adjust the line in gain of the K3 to show the 4-5 bars on the ALC meter then set the power control for what ever power you want, like 25 watts. See the instructions in the manual on how to set this up. It is different than how to use other radios. I also presume you have selected line in on the K3 audio source menu. If you have a working serial cable then you can tell DigiPAN which port to use and to use RTS or DTR. Then make sure in the K3 you have turned on PTT for one or both of those two signals. You can test this with the K3 in TEST mode as well. I use fldigi and flrig using a serial cable and using PTT via CAT to work PSK31. Far more capable program than DigiPAN and pretty easy to use. Free also. DigiPAN is a really old program though the MixW web site says a new version is being worked on. 73, tom n4zpt On 5/19/2012 10:59 AM, kf4clo wrote: Hi All I want to thank everyone for thier help-I still haven't resolved the getting Digipan to key the K3 using the line in-line out,lineout-line in,but I'm still working on it.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 psk31 transmit problems
Frank, Yes, use the same cable that you use for K3 Utility - note which port is being used. Tell DigiPan to use either DTR or RTS to key the K3 and tell it which port to use, then go into the K3 menu for CONFIG PTT -- KEY and set the PTT to either DTR or RTS (the same as you told DigiPan to use). The only downside to using DTR or RTS is that when the computer is started, those lines will be tested and will become active for a short period - the cure is to boot the computer and then turn on the K3. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/19/2012 10:59 AM, kf4clo wrote: Hi All I want to thank everyone for thier help-I still haven't resolved the getting Digipan to key the K3 using the line in-line out,lineout-line in,but I'm still working on it.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 psk31 transmit problems
You should connect a COM port cable from the PC to the K3's RS232 socket, select the correct port on Digipan. On the K3, set PTT to DTR or RTS, and correspondingly set it the same on Digipan for the COM port you selected. If your serial cable is RX/TX/GND only, you could also select VOX for DATA A using the menu. The whole thing works the same if you're using a USB-Serial adapter. You just have to locate the COM port the USB-Serial adapter represents. You can also use VOX if you have no serial cable or adapter, just the Line In/Out cables. For the PC line out to K3 line in, just use the speaker output on the OC end of the cable. You might want to dial the PC's audio output down a bit (or a LOT), and experiment turning it up until you get an acceptable audio level showing on Digipan. Looks like you already have this set up correctly to me. 73, matt W6NIA K3 #24 == On Mon, 14 May 2012 19:25:41 -0700 (PDT), you wrote: Hello all. I'm brand new to the digital modes. I downloaded Digipan to my pc. I have a 1/8 stereo patch cord from the line in on my pc to the line out on the K3. It recieve's good,all kind of qso to read. I have a 1/8 mono patch cord from the line in on the K3 to a speaker out put on the pc-I don't see a line out anywhere. The mike select is on line in. The PC won't key the K3 in data a or pskd. What do I not have hooked up or don't have adjusted. Line out is 010. Don't be to hard on me. Thanks.
