[Elecraft] jt65 help with k3 after xp software reinstall

[goldtr8 at charter.net]

Hi Tony,

You are brilliant, after running the widget and playing with the windows 
volume it started to work.

I always had alc movement and had it set but for some reason it now 
works.   Not sure what it was that did the trick but none the less it is 
now working.

I also reinstalled all my sound card drivers so that could have been it 
also, however then I would have suspected that the non time sensitive 
modes would have not been working.

So maybe it was the widget or volume reset but in any case after doing 
all those things listed above I finally made a contact after spending 
all day on this wonderful windows thing.

  Hmmmm, sounds confusing, Don. Well, first let's make absolutely sure 
your clock is right. Click "change time and date settings" to get a 
second-by-second update. Then go to:

and make sure your time matches.  <http://www.time.gov/widget.html>

If the time is correct and you're transmitting some power, the next 
thing to check is to make sure that the audio output of JT-65 is 
reaching your transmitter. An easy way to do this is to set the K3 meter 
to show ALC; then while transmitting, use the Windows volume control to 
keep advancing speaker volume and watch the ALC bars. When you get it to 
6, back off about 1 1/2 bars.  <http://www.time.gov/widget.html>

At that point, you are definitely sending properly synced JT65 -- at 
least I can't think of any reason why not.

Hi Tony,

I have reinstalled the clock sync software several times and tried 
multiple clock sync software.

The decodes are spot on but no one responds.....
