[Elecraft] [KX3] Has anyone used their KX3 with one of the SCS Pactor controllers?

Carlton, 
I have an SCS PTC II which I have used for WinLink using another rig other than my KX3. I run about 15 Watts when I do that. I have been quite successful connecting to WinLink stations using both pactor I and II. 

I also have a SignaLink USB. I went ahead and ordered the cable to go with my KX3. In this mode, I run winmor for Winlink connection. However, I only run 3-4 Watts. I live in Annapolis, Md, and I usually connect with a station in Florida or Canada. The trick is to pick the correct frequency for the time of day. The other thing is to know whether it is better to connect to a station nearby or 1200 miles away. As I have only one station nearby, ~120 miles, I usually use the Florida station, ~ 1000 miles, on 20m meters in the afternoon. The most important thing is to know/learn what your equipment will do and develope a little practice. 

73,

If you have, what kind of success did you have working with it at 10 watts? 

What kind (if any) of audio circuit did you use to interface the audio 
to/from the rig.straight cables or something with some kind of 
filtering/matching? 



Thanks,
