Trying to get on FT-8 with my KX2

[Elecraft mailing list]

Just out of curiosity, is there an advantage to using a Signalink with your KX2? I simply use the KX3-PCKT cables to pass the audio in/out directly to my laptop without any other interface. Granted, it doesn't allow me rig control from the computer, but I can easily change bands on the radio manually. While it's not as full-featured as having complete rig control, it at least saves me the headache of a second device, and rig communication problems :)

Hope to see you on FT8 soon!

Well I have a Signalink and the appropriate cables for the KX2. This
should work. It seems to be a com port issue and I can't change the
setting within WSJT-X for some reason.  My laptop has only a speaker jack.

Not that I've ever been able to find unless more "stuff" and wires for
your wireless is good for you.

I configure WSJT-X to use DXLab Suite's Commander for rig control.
Commander works fine through LP-Bridge.
