[Elecraft] Vedr: K3 and MicroHam USB 3 issue

[Martin Storli - LA8OKA]

Hi Keith.
 
Have you tried without the Y-cable?
Have you tried with lower output?
I think that either the Y-cable is messig up things, or that you have an RFI problem.
 
There are no definitive answer of what the positions on the volum knobs on the front shall be as they have to be adjusted depending on the software used, the soundcard settings and the transceiver used.

Emne: [Elecraft] K3 and MicroHam USB 3 issue
  
I am going to send this out to both reflectors, Elecraft and MicroHam because I am not sure where I have set up the system incorrectly. The system does work intermittently and I have had successful QSOs with it on both CW and digital modes.

Setup;  K3, MicroHam USB 3, Y cable to ACC to USB 3 and Yaesu Quadra amp, new Asus PC running 64 bit win 7 O/S with 12 gigs of RAM.

Issue: I have intermittent performance with the USB 3 and my k3. At times when using the device with FLDigi software the transceiver ends up locking up on transmit and I usually have to exit out of FLDigi to stop the transmit cycle as none of the buttons will work. This has happened in all fldigi digital modes but is most prevalent during CW.

I am also very uncertain about the knob position on the front of the USB 3. Sorry but I can't find where the position should be in the manual. Plus I cannot seem to get five bars on the ALC meter of my K3 no matter what I try.

I am not sure if this is a K3 or USB 3 setup issue. I need a little help. It does work about 50% of the time.

Thanks,

Keith
