K3 and JT65-HF

[k6dgw]

While putting Alpine County on the air for the Cal QSO Party, a couple
of the crew were running JT65-HF prior to the contest start.  I thought
I might try it out and need a couple of answers:

1.  What mode do I use?  I run AFSK in DATA A on RTTY, audio goes to
LINE IN, MIC+LINE is off.

2.  What's the best way to key the K3?  On RTTY, N1MM/MMTTY key the rig
via the CAT port.

Use DATA A with the same settings ...

WSJT-X can key via software command, RTS or DTR *on a separate port*
or using DXLab Suite's CI-V Commander.  As an alternative you can
use VOX.

Hi Fred,

You probably mean you use AFSK A for RTTY. For JT65-HF you want DATA A. LINE IN is correct and MIC+LIN off is correct although I suspect the K3 automatically turns MIC+LIN off in any of the data modes.

I use VOX for all data modes. Never had a problem.
