Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Need help with soundcard digital mode transmit (retry)

Don, Do you have VOX turned ON for DATA A? It is off by default and you have to turn it on explicitly. Use the LINE IN on the K3 and you should be able to set the level so you have 4 bars on the ALC meter. That level should trip the VOX easily. If you prefer to operate with PTT instead of V

Sorry, let me clarify my response. The K3's VOX does respond to Line-In in my experience. No separate PTT is needed. Also, for the K3, no voltage reduction is needed if you are using the Line-In jacks. I have not tried using the microphone input for digital as I keep that for, oddly enough,

Don, Ok, I looked at the reference I gave, and the information I thought was there isn't. But it's not quite what you want, anyway. There are three separate parts: the Mac, the K3, and the connection between. The Mac is easy: you want to use either CocoaModem or FLDIGI, and they are both excel

First, congratulations on your new rig. you're gonna erally like it. Now onto the issue at hand. Hooking up to a computer is really simple. First, I have to admit I'm a PC user, not a MAC, but I hope if your MAC has a typical sound card, with Line/mic in and speaker/phones ort, you ahould hav

Don, The CocoaModem web site has some information about connecting, as well as configuring the software to successfully transmit. I've used both CocoaModem and Fldigi, but the connection process is the same: from the K2 to the Mac is a simple stereo cable, headphone socket to headphone socket.

Hi all, I'm the proud new papa of Elecraft K3 #5495. I've been able to receive PSK31 via both the rear line-out and the rear speaker jacks. The line-out jack appears to be at a fixed level, which is a little low, but the rear speaker jack with volume control works just fine (that's the approach
