[Elecraft] Rigblaster/Signalink for K3?

2008-03-23 Thread KB1PXD
Does anyone know if there's a Rigblaster or Signalink product that supports the K3? I'm looking for a plug n' play canned solution to support the digital modes. Thanks, - Bill, KB1PXD -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Rigblaster-Signalink-for-K3--tp16236271p16236271.html

[Elecraft] Rigblaster/Signalink for K3?

2008-03-23 Thread Dave G4AON
Bill What does the K3 lack that a Rigblaster or Signalink provides? I use mine with MMTTY, N1MM logging/CW keying and DM780 straight to a sound card. The TX control in DM780 is via the normal serial cable, in MMTTY via a simple single transistor keying circuit built into the 15 way accessory

I think there's a solution from microHam (I think there must be), I am using a USInterface.com Navigator with Windows and DM780. I'm sure Joe (?) from microHam will chip in here, I know that the USInterface.com Navigator is available 'off the shelf'. Simon Brown, HB9DRV

The nice thing about an 'all-in-one' solution: 1) Just one USB cable connected to your radio. 2) Very high quality soundcard. 3) Winkeyer built-in. 4) Extra COM ports. 5) Monitor the audio. 6) One chunky cable from the unit to your radio. End result is a very tidy installation with a

Hi Dave, I appreciate your input but as I had said, I'm looking for canned solution. Also, my laptop doesn't contain a serial port so I'd need a USB--Serial adapter. (I know, not a big deal but I'm trying to keep this clean and simple) I too plan to use DM780 but have no interest in

I'm not certain that they have a solution that fully supports the K3. I've sent them email inquiring about this. I didn't see any solutions on their website that included the appropriate cable to connect to the K3, but maybe I missed it. Thanks, - Bill Simon Brown (HB9DRV) wrote:

Not all - they have to be high-spec for this. You would probably want a dedicated soundcard for SDR anyway, also the newer SDR radios have a USB interface anyway. Simon Brown, HB9DRV -- From: David Cutter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry if this has

As a newcomer to digital modes, one thing still puzzles me. Sometimes, a station will come back to me several HZ above where I have called him. I have to move to his frequency, by repositioning my arrow on his waterfall trace so I can decode him. Then on successive overs we seem to walk up
