KX3 Using FLDigi to send CW

A year or so ago, someone told me how I can send CW with a KX3 using FLDigi
and a SignaLink USB Sound Card. Does someone know how this is
accomplished? I like CW and can decode it pretty decent, however I have a
neurological issue that is keeping me from sending.
Thank You
Aaron K5ATG

Re: KX3 Using FLDigi to send CW

Aaron,

you really don't need the Signalink, just two stereo audio cables (I
used the ones in the KX3-PCKT cable set) a good soundcard in your PC or
an external USB soundcard, and the KXUSB cable that comes with the KX3.

This gives you the audio input/output you need, and the CAT control
needed. This is the only setup I use with my KX3 for all digital modes.

Re: KX3 Using FLDigi to send CW

With the Elecraft USB cable, your computer, you send CW from your keyboard. The beauty of the KX3.

Re: KX3 Using FLDigi to send CW

Bill,

true, but he was asking about FLDidgi to send CW ...

Re: KX3 Using FLDigi to send CW

Yes, but why bother with FLDidgi when it is not needed for CW, RITTY or PSK. Keep it simple.

73 and good DX

Re: KX3 Using FLDigi to send CW

Only answering the gentleman's question ... there may be a perfectly
good reason he doesn't want to use the KX3 utility, as FLDidgi does a
lot of digital modes.

Re: KX3 Using FLDigi to send CW

In reply to this post by Aaron K5ATG

And, Aaron, all you really need to transmit-by-typing any of of the digital text modes integrated into the KX2 firmware (at present: CW, PSK31 & 63, and FSK45 [RTTY]) is the KX2 utility (with your computer connected via the ACC [RS232 serial] buss)

I’ve sent CW that way on my Mac—and then had fldigi listening in the background passively transcribing both sides of the conversation

Joan KX2CW

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra, said Piglet.
Shaka, when the walls fell, said Pooh.
