K1 and PSK

Happy to report that my freshly built K1 is OTA

Can someone direct me to information on how to hook up my SL1+ to the
K1 to do PSK?
I use an iMac and already have USB interface between it and the
signalink. Need to know how to do PTT.

Thanks,

John

Re: K1 and PSK

I think it's impossible to send PSK31 using the K1. PSK requires
sending at least two tones, and the K1 is CW only -- just one tone.
It is possible, in principle, to send Feld-Hell, but I don't know of
any software that will do it -- the ones I know of are soundcard
generated, like PSK.

Receiving digital modes is easy, though -- just run a stereo cable
from the external speaker plug on the K1 to sound-in on the iMac.
CocoaModem is the best software I've found to decode.

John,

You need an SSB capable transmitter to do PSK (or any other soundcard
based digital mode). The K1 is CW only.

I recall there was one gentleman who was working on adding SSB to his
K1, but I don't know what the results were - that was a year or two ago.

It sounds like LA0BX wrote a program to send Feld Hell using only CW and
a simple interface. I've not tried it, but there's some interesting
info here:

http://www.qsl.net/zl1bpu/FUZZY/Feld.htm

and a search for the LA0BX software itself (HS-V79709.zip) came up with
this link:

http://sharon.esrac.ele.tue.nl/mirrors/zl1bpu/FUZZY/software.html

Scroll down about three fourths of the way to find the program link.

There is no provision for PSK with the K1. It was designed for cw ONLY with
no way to inject the proper signals for PSK. The K2 with the SSB addition
should do PSK just fine.
