[K3S] WSJT-K 1.80rc 6m DATA A on LSB

I'm running WSJT-X on FT8/JT65 just as of yesterday. Oddly, it seems to set 6M on DATA A in LSB. How might I fix that back to USB?

In reply to this post by MaverickNH

You may want to consider posting a message in the WSJT Yahoo! Groupbecause there have been a number of issues with WSJT-X 1.8-rc1 andthe Hamlib library which the development group has been plowing through.I was able to get a special build to test, which avoids the crash that I encounteredwhen first starting it on my K3, but I gather that they are seeing a lot of othersmall problems, so I suspect they'd like to swat your bug while they're at it.
I hadn't noticed that particular problem with my station, but I'll try to take a look for it,perhaps later this afternoon. That's not to say that perhaps there's a parameteron your rig (or a setting in your WSJT-X Configuration) that needs to be changed, however.

Re: [K3S] WSJT-K 1.80rc 6m DATA A on LSB

FWIW, I and many others have been using the posted compiled version of
WSJT-X 1.8-rc1 from the official WSJT-X website with a K3, and without
problems. I'm not using a lot of "bells and whistles" -- I'm using a
vintage K3 with an outboard USB to serial converter from computer to
rig, a Tascam US100 USB audio interface for the computer, and VOX with
the K3 in DATA A mode. I'm doing almost no rig control -- all the USB to
serial interface is doing is read and control frequency. On the <Radio>
tab of <Settings> select the K3 under Rig, set the serial port that the
computer has assigned to your USB to serial converter, set PTT method to
VOX, set Mode to None, and set Split Operation to None.

The Tascam US100 is simply a very good vintage USB to analog stereo
audio I/O designed for home semi-pro recording studios. There's lots of
comparable stuff that works. It ONLY handles audio, no control functions.

Re: [K3S] WSJT-K 1.80rc 6m DATA A on LSB

To clarify my situation, I'm running a K3 with the new KIO3B with the integral sound and USB interface, and it was running properly using WJST-X V1.7. The Hamlib library problem that I encountered also affects certain Kenwood users as well, and the development team is well aware of the issues. I have used an external sound interface (Asus Xonar U5) in the past, but opted to simplify things when the KIO3B became available.

Re: [K3S] WSJT-K 1.80rc 6m DATA A on LSB

I have one of each, a K3S with USB and a K3 without. When I was having FT8
problems (not sure they're over) I set up both radios and "worked myself". The
K3 was setup exactly as Jim describes, down to the same sound card, and the K3s
used the internal USB. It's much easier to set proper TX audio levels with the
external card, but that's a continuing gripe, not to be expanded on here.

I too use VOX but let the program set Split and Mode. (There is a timing issue
doing this; something I mentioned in another thread.) So after seeing that
someone else claimed to be using PTT via USB instead of VOX I attempted to use
it. I wound up getting hamlib errors and since I'm not so invested in this mode
anyway, went back to VOX, which is what I use for RTTY and PSK anyway.

Hi Joe,

I see that changes TX A DATA to TX A DATA REV. I just put up a Omniangle OA-50 6m horizontal loop antenna and started running WSJT-X 1.80rc1 FT8 & JT65 on their respective 50.313 and 50.276 and others are telling me I'm transmitting LSB instead of USB on TX A DATA. I decode other bands fine (20m, 30m, 40m, 80m) when I see TX A DATA so assume that is USB. I'm not sure what's happening on 6m.

Not I'm using Ham Radio Deluxe in my WSJT-X Setting:Radio, so maybe there's an issue there?

Are you sure you are using DATA A and not AFSK A? Press/hold AFX (Data
Mode) and confirm the VFO B display says DATA A.

Re: [K3S] WSJT-K 1.80rc 6m DATA A on LSB

I stopped using Ham Radio Deluxe as my WSJT-X Radio setting and just selected Elecraft K3 and all seems well now. Might be something about that... I use that when running remote using Splashtop.

Probably a good move. A good test for the audio interface is that if you
regularly see JT65 decodes with indicated levels below -25 dB and some
around -29, the interface is good enough.

[K3S] WSJT-X 1.80-rc1

In reply to this post by Elecraft mailing list

For those having issues, me included for a short period, I discovered
the following information. After doing so, my issues were all resolved.

From the WSJT-X Local User Guide:

<snip>

Install/WSJT-X/into its own directory, for
example|C:\WSJTX|or|C:\WSJT\WSJTX|, rather than the conventional
location|C:\Program Files\WSJTX|.

<snip>

Also I do not run WSJT-X from within another program. There's many
features which I find work very nicely.
