One thing to add ... once you have the CAT control setup properly, you
should change bands via WSJT-X, as it will control the band changes on
the rig, not the reverse.

Richard,
You must have communications between WSJT-X and the K3S in order for
WSJT-X to know the band that is selected on the K3S.
A standard USB cable is all you need between the computer and the K3S.
Be certain you do not accidentally try to plug it into the RJ-45 jack
because that will
To my knowledge you only need a USB cable like used with a printer to
connect between the USB port on the radio and the USB port on your
computer. In the radio CONFIG menu set the RS232 value to USB. You do
not use the RS-232 port on the radio. See page 18 of the K3S manual.

Everything is working perfectly. Well, 99.874% is working perfectly. The little
WSJT-X dropdown menu for band selection doesn’t follow band changes I make at
the K3S. The same problem exists between my friend’s Kenwood TS-990s and his
similar Mac
Richard,
If you want to have the software application know the band and frequency
that the K3S is working, you must establish communications between that
application and the K3S.
With the K3S, that is accomplished over the USB connection between the
computer and the K3S.
So you must tell the
Can't speak for a MAC but you should be using WSJT-X version 1.9.1.
Yes, the K3S should follow the WSJT band/frequency changes. And when
I change frequency or band on my K3S, the WSJT-X software changes
frequency/band accordingly.
I use a single cable between my K3S and computer. This is
Yes, that will work Richard. I connect the K3s to my Mac mini via the Elecraft
supplied USB to USB cable. It does not go to the RS232 on the K3s. If you
already have the K3s and the MAC connected via the USB cable then you just need
to select the correct port on the WSJT-X configuration. If

Everything is working perfectly. Well, 99.874% is working perfectly. The little
