K3s audio question
Locked
 
|
Hi All,
I apologize in advance, as this is going to be a long post. I will try to include all the relevant information, so not many questions are left unanswered. I recently bought a K3s and got rid of my K3 rigs. The K3s is located at my Ohio QTH (remote radio) and hooked up properly to the PC, which is Win7 64 bit, running the latest OS updates. To operate remotely, while in Texas, I use all software, no RemoteRig. The software I use for radio control is Win4Ksuite (I have been corresponding with Tom and he suggested I ask this group), N1MM for contesting and logging. I run com0com to allow the virtual comports to run both Win4K3suite and N1MM simultaneously. I run 2 instances (with different Id's) of Skype, so I have audio and can see my P3 via webcam. Included hardware is a Winkeyer. The K3s and Winkeyer are properly configured in N1MM. This setup has worked flawlessly for several years. *The only difference is I went from a K3 to a K3s... no other changes.* The K3s came with firmware version 5.62. When I used the remote setup last time (in August 2018) it worked perfectly. The K3 then, had version 5.60. I have updated the K3s with firmware version 5.60 and still experience the issue. The ISSUE... whenever I hit a key on the control station keyboard, makes no difference which key, the audio will "mute" for a couple of characters, then pop back on strong. It makes no difference if I have Win4K3suite & N1MM running, just Win4K3suite running or nothing other than Skype and the radio on, the moment I hit a key, the audio is muted momentarily! Any suggestions on a remedy would be greatly appreciated. 73 de Jim - KE8G ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

HiOne thing I just thought of is that perhaps Skype is muting the sound when you hit a key. Try to set the mic input on mute and see what happens.73 Tom

It sure does sound like a Skype issue.
At work we use Skype and Cisco Webex for remote video display of meetings. In either app if you touch any button on the hardware or software IP phones, even to mute them, the software will mute the presentation. Is the K3s set to beep on button presses? R.

skype is basically half duplex with vox. any thing that happens locally
that triggers the vox will cause receive cut outs. the cure is to mute the mike whenever you're done talking. treat the mute button like PTT and you'll have better luck. jim ab3cv On Wed, Oct 24, 2018 at 7:51 PM <[hidden email]> wrote: > It sure does sound like a Skype issue. > At work we use Skype and Cisco Webex for remote video display of meetings. > In either app if you touch any button on the hardware or software IP > phones, even to mute them, the software will mute the presentation. > > Is the K3s set to beep on button presses? > > > R.
