[Elecraft] SSTV Reception on the K3

[Don Wilhelm]

Mark,

HRD/DM780 will try to set your K3 to SSB, but if you can override that 
and select DATA A instead, there will be fewer problems - for one thing, 
K3 DATA modes automatically set TX EQ and RX EQ to flat and set the 
compression to zero. so you don't have to invent macros to turn those 
things off.

I admit, the last version of HRD that I have used is the 5.0 beta from 
before Simon sold it.  There may have been changes beyond that point 
that I am not aware of.

I don't know the future of HRD other than I understand it will become a 
"for pay" application.  While that is not bad, it makes me investigate 
other applications for my purposes.  I have been experimenting with 
Fldigi which seems to fill my needs at the moment.  I do not desire 
complete rig control, only that associated with digital modes.
I had used LP-Bridge with NaP3 for panadapter display and Fldigi with 
RIgCat (yes it requires 2 soundcards)  before I lost the shack 
computer.  New computer is up and running, but not with all applications 
yet.

73,
