[Elecraft] K3 & SDR/IQ

[Wes Stewart]

You don't say what software you are running but if it's Spectravue, just go to the ExtRadio tab, select the K3 from the drop down list, set the com port, baud rate and check mode tracking.  In the SDR-IQ setup, set the filter BW to 100 or 150.  Press F12 and you should be in business.
