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.

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. 73, ...

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!

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. 73, matt W6NIA On Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:34:04 +0100, you wrote: >Julian, > >I will look if this connection don't interfere with other programs >and if ok, i will use it! > >Thanks for info! > >73, Rudolf > > >Julian, G4ILO wrote: >> >> hb9ari wrote: >> >>> DATA A is perfectly usable with VOX: i will migrate to this mode >>> >>> >>> >> But there is no reason to use VOX for any digimode.

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 Matt Zilmer wrote: > You could also use LP Bridge to share the serial port at the K3 among > several programs running on your PC.
