CODEC UPDATE & CLOSE

[Mike K4PI]

Well the good news is that the K3S has nothing to do with my Rate In/Out
numbers jumping out of range.  The reason I say that is I was watching
the WSJT-10 program with the K3S powered off and the were still jumping
out of range.  When seeing that I decided to check the analog audio
again and couldnt believe it is jumping also.  Something has gone off
the rails in the computer arena.

I disconnected everything from the machine today and found that anytime
I have the Ethernet cable to the computer from the Xfinity router/modem 
connected the Rates start jumping  randomly and sometimes out of range. 
I changed the ethernet cable but not help.  Just for drill I put some
torrids on each end with no change.    I am thinking of seeing if
Xfinity will swap out the router/modem.  The numbers do not necessarily
jump when there is traffic on the ethernet rx or tx so not sure how that
is causing the audio Rates to jump.   I have no other clues right now
but guess this case can be closed on the Elecraft reflector as this has
nothing to do with the K3S.    Thanks to all those that emailed me..  73

Mike,

I had heard anecdotal stories about Xfinity modems and ethernet
connections to non-computer equipment.  I actually had one customer who
had the problem, I took a spare Linksys router, and connected it between
the Xfinity modem, and the equipment, and that fixed the issue for my
customer.    I basically turned off the Xfinity WiFi, installed a top of
the line Linksys AC-1900 router, and all the ethernet, and wireless
connections go through that, and he's not seen the issue since.

As usual YMMV ... :)

Neil, KN3ILZ

My last word:

I bought into the XFinity "X1" program and connected their super-modem
and tried to make it work with my LAN.  I detected security holes in
their "instant hotspot" provision that would violate my company's
insistence of tight firewalls and hard-wire Ethernet for any
off-premises system carrying company information no matter how small.
The upshot is that I returned their modem, bought my own Arris
(Motorola) modem meeting their compatibility specs, and continued to use
my existing Netgear VPN router.  It paid for itself wirhin a year.
Problem solved.
