[Dx4win] Tr : PSK31 with K3/DX4WIN : PLEASE HELP !

[Bud Semon]

Hi Radi,

I don't use PSK31, but the Prolific USB - Serial converters are known to
have many problems.  My first recommendation is to change to USB - Serial
converters that use the FTDI chipset.

Also, I believe his second connection description is not correct.  The
Signalink must be connected directly to a USB connection on the computer.
There is a special cable required for each type of radio that connects the
audio outputs of the Signalink to the radio.  The radio serial port must
also be connected (through the USB - Serial adapter) to the computer
directly.

I hope this helps.

73, Bud  N7CW
