PSK31 on K-3
Locked
 
|
OK I finally got my computer hooked up thru the mic in / headphones jack
with 1/8 inch stereo cables connected to the line in/out on the K-3, and have it working... I also have the USB/serial adapter connected. With this setup, I am using HRD and Digital Master 780 successfully. Is there a more elegant way to accomplish PSK31 on my K-3? My PC is a HP Laptop running Vista. This setup kills my computer for Skype, since it ties up the internal soundcard. 73, Ron AE6RH S/N 1997 ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

Ron,
May I suggest a USB soundcard? The EMU 0202 is a good one. That will free up your internal soundcard for other things (like Skype). 73, Don W3FPR Ron Midwin wrote: > OK I finally got my computer hooked up thru the mic in / headphones jack > with 1/8 inch stereo cables connected to the line in/out on the K-3, and > have it working... > > I also have the USB/serial adapter connected.

There are lots of choices if you want to add a card for the K3. I've had good luck with the SignaLink USB product. I normally use a RigExpertPlus for my K3 for serial port, audio, FSK etc. I know others have had excellent results with MicroHAM's products as well as the US Interface Navigator. If you can find one, a Creative Labs MP+ is a USB soundcard that used to sell refurbished for $19. I've used one of these and it works very well. I've successfully avoided Vista here so I can't comment on drivers for any of the above. YMMV 73, Lyle KK7P ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

You could get a USB audio device and dedicate it to the radio interface, or(/and) get a USB headset to use with Skype. EMU-0202 is overkill for PSK, IMO - you should be able to find something for a fraction of the cost that'd perform fine. You don't need 192kHz sampling for this application ;) There is a "PSK D" mode too, which supposedly allows PSK input via the FSK pin on the accessory port, but I haven't tried that (or thought through how it'd work). ~Iain / N6ML ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

PSK-D does NOT work with the FSK pins on the ACCY connector. PSK-D works with paddle
input and ascii input from a terminal, such as the terminal tab of the K3 Utility program. ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Tue Apr 14 11:58 , Iain MacDonnell - N6ML sent: > > >Ron Midwin wrote: >> OK I finally got my computer hooked up thru the mic in / headphones jack >> with 1/8 inch stereo cables connected to the line in/out on the K-3, and >> have it working... >> >> I also have the USB/serial adapter connected.

Well then the manual (admittly not the latest version) that I have is wrong. Someone should fix the manual then, cos it says (page 31): > PSK D is a Direct-transmit mode for PSK31. > It’s the only mode that decodes and displays > PSK31 signals with the text decoder (pg. 33). > Like FSK D, PSK D lets you transmit via > FSK IN, ASCII, or the keyer paddle (pg. 34). > You can also use auto-spot with PSK D if the > tuning aid is displayed (CWT, pg. 34). ~Iain / N6ML Greg - AB7R wrote: > PSK-D does NOT work with the FSK pins on the ACCY connector.

Oops .. sorry about the QLF ... I decided to change wording after checking the latest PDF manual from the website, but forgot to delete the old text! So, yeah, the latest manual still implies that FSK IN works for PSK D. ~Iain Iain MacDonnell - N6ML wrote: > > Well then the manual (admittly not the latest version) that I have is > wrong. > > Someone should fix the manual then, cos it says (page 31): > >> PSK D is a Direct-transmit mode for PSK31.
