Hello to the group! I am KT4JR, wife of K4MWE (Larry). He uses PSK a lot
but we set it up a year ago and did not make a backup of the settings.
Somehow the settings were lost and we are having trouble reconstructing a
working config. We can transmit, and FLdigi tracks the frequency on the
radio, but we are not receiving.
Specifics: Elecraft KX3 with KXPA100 tuner/amp attached, Windows 7 computer
with iMic external sound card.
FLdigi Config set to use HamLib and port audio but PTT via HamLib is NOT
checked (using VOX instead).
Com port and baud rate are the same we use to install new software updates
to the radio, so that works.
I know there are PSK signals to be received because we can see them on our
other rig upstairs, but nothing shows on the KX3.
I just saw in a FLdigi help group post that I should use debug-level-5 and I
will go learn how to do that.

Any other ideas?? KX3 is set to Data A with VOX on, bandwidth at 4
THANKS!!
Julie KT4JR

Re: (no subject)

Can you hear the PSK signals through the KX3 speaker (when you remove the connector from the KX3 headphone jack, of course)? If so, then likely it is a problem with the audio levels or with the sound card setup on the PC. If not, then if you turn the amp off in the KX3 PA mode setting, and switch the amplifier off, do you hear the PSK signals from the speaker? I observed one case at my station where switching the amplifier on would cause the KX3 to go deaf, I suspect due to some corrupt command being sent on the serial line (powering everything off, then disconnecting and reconnecting the cables restored everything to normal).

Re: not receiving PSK using FLdigi

THANKS to Matt for this suggestion and I will try it. I am not deleting the
original message because it got sent without a subject line, which I just
added. KT4JR
