JT65 Problems

[John Green]

I have successfully made JT65 contacts with a prior HP laptop using it's sound card and a K3 with the new K3S synthesizer. When I used a new HP pavilion laptop, its sound card, the set up indicates CAT and PTT is working and the K3 responds accordingly. But the K3 will not transmit. I have tried many modes, adjusted ALC, but can't get the K3 to transmit. Is there a K3 setting I am missing when attempting to run JT65 with WSJTx version 1.7 or 1.8?

John,

If all you changed was the computer, then the problem is with the
computer setup.  Is the setup for your data mode application software
set up the same on the old computer and the new?

Does the red TX LED light?  If so, the PTT signal from the application
is putting the K3 into transmit.  You must set the computer soundcard
audio for 4 bars solid with the 5th bar flickering.  Do you have that set?

How is the computer application sending PTT to the K3? Via CAT command
or via the RS-232 connection?  If the RS-232 connection, is it using DTR
or RTS?  Is the K3 PTT-KEY menu set to the same signal for PTT?

In other words, too many variables.  Give us your complete setup
information, and maybe we can help.  Just saying "it doesn't work" can
leave a large batch of possibilities.

Since you know the K3 worked before (with the old computer), then the
problem is with your application setup on the new computer.

How are you getting audio in or out of the computer?

Does your computer have one of those gosh darn single 3.5 mm jacks for audio?  For this you need the proper TRRS adapters that split the in from the out.

Be sure you have updated WSJT-X to v1.8.0-rc2.   This version does
correct a couple of issues in the rig configuration file.
