Advice on software

[Michael Rudolph]

I want to operate psk with the kx2 using a computer.

What is good psk software?
Also, what software can I use to turn my computer into a panadapter?  If I always have my computer, is there any reason to purchase the panadapter accessory?

Fldigi.  It doesn't matter which of the major operating systems you use,
Fldigi is built for them all.

My KPA500 has recently started to switch from operate to standby while using
on voice LSB on 40 meters
KAT500 tunes to 1.38 SWR, the bypass SWR is 3.1
This now happening on several occasions...any suggestions appreciated.

Arcing.  Try reducing power and see if the faults go away. Raise the power
gradually from low and see when the faults appear. Where faults occur and
why is another subject.

Mike,
I used FLDIGI or MIXW. Both are quite good. You don't need to worry about radio control beyond PTT. I was using a SigaLink PSK for the interface and it worked well. I have a KX3 these days and I use both the internal PSK cap, abilities of the KX3 and FLDIGI. I go with what is the most convenient at the moment; I still have my SignaLink PSK.

How you go will depend on what other software you use. I use Ham Radio Deluxe and some radio control software. It's easy for me to go anyway I want. BTW: Ham Radio Deluxe has a package DM780 that has PSK software and well as other modes. There's nothing really wrong with DM780; I'm just accustomed to using FLDIGI.

73,
Barry

I'd be happy with just CW

...if only that radio existed.
