[Elecraft] PSK 31

[Ron Midwin]

Gentlemen:

 

I've been playing around with PSK-31 and can sort of get it working, using
the K-3 and the Elecraft software.  I am able to send by typing text into
the software, and someone on the same frequency can hear and copy me.  I was
having difficulty copying him, even thought I was hear his warble.

 

I also have a copy of HRD, which is quite complicated to use, so I've put
that off, even though I hear great things about it.

 

My question is, does anyone have an application note; PSK-31 on a K-3 for
dummies, that would give me a simple way to play with it?

 

I've used PSK-31 before on a previous 746 Pro and a Tigertronics USB box,
and it worked fine.  I was able to see the waterfall on my computer screen
and could select a signal by clicking on the signal on the display.  Not
sure if I can still do this using elecraft software?

 

I have my K-3 connected to my laptop computer with a USB-serial adapter,
which works fine.  Do I need to use the sound card in my laptop too?

 

Thanks,

 

Ron
