Re: [Elecraft] USB Sound Card

I use a U7 with the KX3 and HDSDR. There is an issue with the initialization of the 24 bit drivers. I have set up for 24 bits, 192 kHz and line in using the Asus software, and 24 bits and 192 kHz in Windows control panel. When I turn the computer on and use HDSDR for the first time I have to do the

Re: [Elecraft] USB Sound Card

Tom, If the problem is only happening when the Asus U7 is the default soundcard, then how do you deal with the tendency of the Windows operating system to set any newly installed soundcard as the default? Seems like a "catch 22" to me. Yes, the specs on the Asus U7 are very good, but for pana

The reviews on Amazon and NewEgg need to be taken with a grain of salt. The vast majority of those reviews are from people who aren't technically inclined and you get a lot of "it sounds great" reviews. If you're using this for the LP-Pan take the advice of N8LP. He knows what works with his ha

I used a SignaLink for quite a few years and then I changed to a Tascam US-122 mkII. When I used the SignaLink on PSK, I had to ride the RF gain to keep the digitized audio volume within acceptable input levels. With the Tascam, I no longer need to do that. The downside of the Tascam is it requ

Re: [Elecraft] USB Sound Card

That's strange. Never heard a single issue with the Asus u7 stuck at 48 and i know of many many people using them. The only reason that happens is that people often set the card as the default sound card which should not be done.The u7 in my experience, is the quietest and least likely to have

Re: [Elecraft] USB Sound Card

Tom, Tom, If you want to use the soundcard for panadapter applications, then go with the recommendations on the LP-Pan site, but there are several users that have been reporting that the ASUS U7 reverts to 48k and there does not seem to be a solution. The ASUS U5 does not seem to share that

Re: [Elecraft] KRC2 and KX3

This is not a good idea - the two are not compatible. The KX3 does not speak the auxbus protocol the KRC2 needs, plus the voltage levels are not compatible. The best way to use the KRC2 with the KX3 is to use serial port communications. Realize the KRC2’s highest data rate is 19200 bps. Also reme

Re: [Elecraft] KRC2 and KX3

Robert, The KX3 ACC2 I/O menu parameter should be set to TRN CTRL. The output of the KX3 ACC2 IO is 3 volt logic while to KRC2 uses 5 volt logic. It may be that the AUXBUS signal from the KX3 is not properly switching the input of the KRC2. You may have to add a 3V to 5V translation circuit
