PSK31-D Question!

[Kurt Wiksten]

Hi

I am using Logger32 and N1MM logging programs with my K3.
On RTTY (FSK-D) and CW I am using the microKeyer 2 from microHAM as interface between K3 and logger 32 as well as N1MM.
To work digital modes both logging programs are using the MMTTY / MMVARI  modules for coding/decoding
This combination is working very well with FSK-D and CW but I also want to use PSK31-D.
PSK31 is OK receiving using the microKeyer2 soundcard but on transmit I am only getting a carrier without any modulation.
Is there somebody out there using the same equipment who could give me some advice???
I know that I could use DATA A mode and use the soundcard in microkeyer2 to audio-modulate the carrier but I really want to use the direct
PSK31 mode in the K3 for several reassons.

Kurt,

Unless you can get a software application to send ASCII to the K3, or
operate the CW paddle inputs to the K3 (both dot and dash) with precise
timing to emulate a person operating paddles for CW (hand key input will
not convert), then PSK-D cannot be used.
K3 Utility can send the ASCII in its terminal window, but I do not
believe there is another PSK enabled application that will do the same.

PSK31-D is used only for paddle sent PSK31 (or data sent via
the KY interface on the CAT input).  Use either DATA A (best)
or AFSK A-Rev with MMVARI/FLDIGI in both Logger32 and N1MM
logger.  

In N1MM Logger, you can configure the "modes control" tab
to use DATA A automatically for PSK31 (set PSK = PSK).

Hello Kurt,

PSK-D mode is only meant for PSK keying direct from the CW  paddles input.  FSK-D
works the same way.  You can operate both modes from paddle input with no computer
intervention.

Where FSK-D and PSK-D differ however are in their use with computer digital mode
programs.  The K3 can be keyed in FSK mode using pins 1 and 5 on the ACC
connector.  However PSK-D has no such keying lines.  Anytime  you are connected to
a computer and want to run PSK you should have the radio in Data-A mode.  This
automatically disables CMP to help keep a clean signal.  Then  using your soundcard
output and the Line-In gain on the K3 adjust your settings to get 4-5 bars of ALC
and you should be set.

Hope this helps.

KComm can send PSK31 from the keyboard using PSK-D (and RTTY using FSK-D) since the K3 responds to the same KY commands that can be used to send CW from the keyboard. There is still no convenient way to read the decoded text back into the computer though, and I seem to recall noticing a new problem (the details of which I have since forgotten) on transmit the last time I tried it.

Since anyone who has a computer connected to the K3 almost certainly has a sound card (or could easily install one) which would give far better PSK31 capabilities, it isn't a very useful facility and I don't blame Elecraft for not giving much priority to the get decoded text feature. Though anyone who uses the built-in CW decoder might find it handy to have more than a 7 character scrolling buffer available.
