KX3 and FreeDV
Locked
 
|
Not knowing anything about digital modes, I've become intrigued by
FreeDV and figured that maybe I should give it a go. I've read a bit, watched some relevant YouTube, re-read Don's (W3FPR) article on his website and figured I'll need an external sound card. I've also checked out the FreeDV website and downloaded the software. Now I'm looking at SignaLink and also West Mountain Radio RIGblaster. The facts are though, I haven't got much of a clue, so any help will be great. Has anyone used either of these products with the KX3 for FreeDV? Any recommendations ? Thanks to all in advance 73 Kev VK5KS ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

An inexpensive USB sound card (look for one with line in) say about $15(US)
and a couple of audio cables is all you need. Set your levels (4 bars with 5th flashing on transmit, best decode on receive) and away you go. I am not familiar with FreeDV, if it has the ability to do PTT over com port you can key with that, otherwise you can set up VOX. KX3 does not do FSK, you have to use AFSK. Not a big deal, just keep an eye on the transmit level.

Thanks for the info Jim but my problem is that I have no idea how to
connect what with what. That's why I was looking for someone who may have used the KX3 with FreeDV, maybe no one has yet...
