[Elecraft] K3s Fldigi and Mac

[ae4pb at carolinaheli.com]

In FLdigi, Click CONFIGURE, then SOUNDCARD and report back the Port Audio
settings,
Do you see the RIG go into TX mode? (you state it doesn't appear to transmit
but that's vague).
How is the program configured for PTT? CONFIGURE/Rig Control, PTT. Are you
cabled to use DTS/RTS via the DE9 connector or are you intending to use VOX?

Please refer to the K3S owners manual page 33.


Data Mode Connections
You can transmit and receive data with a computer
in three ways:
. Connect your soundcard I/O to the K3S. Use
MAIN:MIC SEL to use LINE IN/OUT, frontpanel
mic jack, or rear-panel mic jack. You can
use VOX or PTT to control transmit.
. Use the soundcard in receive mode, but use a
PC I/O line to do direct FSK (or PSK)
modulation. Connect the PC's I/O line to the
"FSK IN" line on the ACC connector. (If this
signal originates from an RS232 port, it will
require RS232-to-TTL level conversion.)
. Send and receive ASCII text via the RS232
interface. To send, insert text into a "KY"
command (e.g., "KY CQ DE N6KR;"). To
receive, send "TT1;" (text-to-terminal). "TT0;"
turns it off. See the K3/KX3 Programmer's
Reference, available at www.elecraft.com.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3s Fldigi and Mac

I have recently purchased and built my K3S. 100w with ATU.
As an MM6 foundation licence holder, this is my first radio and I am limited
to 10w. 
I am a Mac user not a Mac Genius and use a mid 2010 Imac. 
I have installed and am successfully using Maclogger.

After discussion with club mates I decided to try Digital modes and was
advised to start with PSK. 
After some research I discovered FLdigi installed the programme and the FTDI
driver for the USB and it appears to work well in all respects including rig
control, apart for the fact that the Radio does not appear to transmit. 

When I try and answer a CQ by answering call. The waterfall indicates I am
sending data and the message transfers from the bottom to the Top sections
of FLdigi. However there is no indication on the radio that there is any
output. I have had no response to any CQ or answered call.

I think the issue may be with the audio setup. 

Can anybody signpost me to straight forward guidance on setting up FLdigi,
Mac and the K3S  

Thanks Tony
