But there is no reason to use VOX for any digimode. WSJT supports PTT control. You have a fully wired serial cable connecting the PC and K3 which allows you to use it. The K3 is not like other radios that requires a transistor switch driven by the com port to do PTT.

Just select the com port for PTT control in WSJT and select RTS in the K3 PTT menu.

This does not work if one has a logging program that is
using the K3's RS-232 port.  As far as I know, no commonly
used operating system permits more than one program to
access a serial port at the same time which means that WSJT
can not access the RTS/DTR lines.

Note: it might be possible to use LP-Bridge or the freeware
Enterlogic VSPE to "split" the hardware port into multiple
virtual ports but there are some significant configuration
and reliability issues with some logging software and port
sharing.

That's a good point, Joe. I have been using the Eterlogic VSPE for so long that it has become normal for me.

There should be no conflict between WSJT and any logging program since WSJT does not use software control.

Julian,

I will look if this connection don't interfere with other programs
and if ok, i will use it!

Thanks for info!

Re: JT65A output power variations

Matt Zilmer
You could also use LP Bridge to share the serial port at the K3 among
several programs running on your PC.  This works quite well.

Hi Matt,

I've tried to use LP-Bridge with PowerSDR-IF (and LP-Pan) but with some
losses
of communication after  some time; for this reason, i use HRD with Power-SDR
without "lock" during many hours ( waiting for 50MHz "apertures" during
Summer...).

73 QRO,
Rudolf
