[Elecraft] [K3] WSJT-X settings for K3

[James Bennett]

Mr. Inventor61 (call??) - I’ve been running my K3 (full K-Line here, too) with WSJT-X v1.3, r3673 for quite some time with no problems. WSJT-X is able to control the rig’s band setting and I also use the split feature with no issues. I’d be glad to compare settings with you if you’d like. It ought to work fine for you. Drop me an email offline and we can try to get it sorted out.
