I have an 100% updated K3.
Suddenly I lost capability to transmit FT8 mode.
CW and SSB works OK, I do not know about RTTY.
My K3 is connected to a MicroHam Microkeyer II.
Is my FT8 signal being generated in which sound card?

Unless you are QRP (5 W) or QRO (1.5Kw) what difference a 10% or more

I love chirps, it reminds of the real good old days when I was young.
We used to be able to recognize station by their distinct chirp.
I heard one station in the recent FQP with one, the chirp give me a very
