FT8 and K3
Locked
 
|
Good morning all,
I had this problem show up this morning and haven't figured out what has changed. I use a MicroKeyer II (MKII) with the K3. After working some FT8 DX this morning I went to calling CQ and I noticed that I wasn't getting any RF output. The first thing I looked at was the line setting figuring it got bumped and I just needed to adjust. That wasn't the case. I can't get any RF out regardless of the setting. Here's the setup on the K3: DATA A Mic Sel: Line In Mic Setting: varied from 0 to 60 with no effect. I've tested the setting from within WSJT and everything seem fine. I have power cycled the MKII, the K3, reinstalled the WSJT-X software (v1.9.1). I do use a DXLab "bridge" to DXkeeper but that seem to be working fine. The K3 goes into TX mode but there is no RF according to the watt meter. I've tried FT8 on other bands and the same problem. Everything looks right except there is no RF out. Any suggestions on what to try will be greatly appreciated.

Here’s some things to check:
Verify that WSJT-X is pointing to the correct sound devices. Verify that you do have an audio signal on the lines you expect them to be on. -- Mike Flowers, K6MKF, NCDXC - "It's about DX!" > On Nov 21, 2018, at 8:56 AM, Glenn - N5RN <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Good morning all, > > > > I had this problem show up this morning and haven't figured out what has > changed. > > > > I use a MicroKeyer II (MKII) with the K3. > > > > After working some FT8 DX this morning I went to calling CQ and I noticed > that I wasn't getting any RF output. > > > > The first thing I looked at was the line setting figuring it got bumped and > I just needed to adjust.

In troubleshooting problems like these, it is helpful to plug
headphones into the sound card audio output jack, to see whether it's a computer issue or a radio issue.
