K3 connect cable wspr 2

[Ai4PF]

I regularly and successfully use all available digital modes. I recently downloaded the updated version 1.6 of jt65x that includes wspr2. The  instructions say an interface cable using a serial port port to key the PTT line is required in order to TX. I already have this connection going from the rs232 serial to the the rear of the P3 and then to the K3, but no matter what  I can't get the program to go into TX mode.

Does anyone have a similar working setup? Appreciate any suggestions.

Bill, Ai4pf

Bill - I just use the Elecraft supplied serial-USB cable. There is no difference between JT65/JT9 and WSPR-2 as far as making the rig transmit. Most of us use the VOX (preferred) method of having the K3, K3s, or KX3 go into transmit. When you put WSJT-X into WSPR-2 mode, you do have to manually click the Enable TX button. If your audio settings are sufficient to transmit JT65 and or JT9, nothing special is needed for WSPR-2.

Jim,

I have a simular problem...
K3 + TigerTronics: I have no problem going into xmit in FlDigi... works fine, but close FlDigi, open WSPR2 or JT65, it receives fine but no xmit.  
I can poke around, set com7 so it will switch bands when I change bands in WSPR2.... but selecting CAT or VOX make no difference...
oh, with CAT selected, I can get the radio to go into xmit if I click on the PTT button on the setup page, but that does not make the tigertronics box to go into xmit
"TUNE" on the home page does nothing to the radio..

HELP!!

Thank for your help!

Charley
