K3 Presets/Settings for JT65B / EME

[Udo Langenohl - DK5YA]

Hi,

just joined the group. I was running my good old FT1000MP for 15 years
as IF for my transverters doing EME and FSK441 mainly on 144 and up. Now
I bought a K3 last week with several options. This nice little piece is
going to be my new rig for VHF/UHF/SHF and the FT1000MP will retire (if
the K3 will satisfy me needs...I guess it will). Of course I will still
use my DB6NT TVTR's.

I wonder who's running a K3 with transverters for WSJT/JT65B. Since this
little box is full of different settings for mic gain, mic EQ's, filters
and passband etc. I'd like to know your personal adjustments and presets
for perfect RX/TX in JT65B.

Anyone using Line In/Line Out and the rig in Data Mode A directly to the
soundcard instead of a seperat interface for FSK441/JT65B? Will it work?

73 Udo, DK5YA

P.S.: Please accept my apologize, perhaps all these questions poped up
several times before. I was trying hard to scan the whole mail reflector
but didn't find sufficient answers yet.

I use Data A Mode directly from the line in/out to my pc sound card for
JT65 and all digital modes with no issues at all.

In fact it works great and was easy to set up with a little help from
this reflector for base software setup stuff for radio :-)

Udo,

Only answering the part of your post listed below - yes, there is no
need for a separate interface for the K3 - soundcard line-out to K3 line
in and K3 Line out to soundcard Line in.

Actually, many specialized "interfaces" create problems for users
because (by default) they provide mic level outputs (which are good for
most transceivers) but do not provide enough audio drive for the line-in
input level required by the K3 Line in.  Line level is 10 to 20 times
greater than mic level.

The K3 line in and line out are transformer isolated - so in effect, the
"interface" is built into the K3.

73,
Don W3FPR

Thanks to everyone replying to my several questions, works fine now and
I'm quite satisfied. This reflector is a gold mine! :-)
