[Elecraft] [K3S] WSJT-K 1.80rc 6m DATA A on LSB

[Bayard Coolidge, N1HO]

To clarify my situation, I'm running a K3 with the new KIO3B with the integral sound and USB interface, and it was running properly using WJST-X V1.7. The Hamlib library problem that I encountered also affects certain Kenwood users as well, and the development team is well aware of the issues. I have used an external sound interface (Asus Xonar U5) in the past, but opted to simplify things when the KIO3B became available.

FWIW, I and many others have been using the posted compiled version of 
WSJT-X 1.8-rc1 from the official WSJT-X website with a K3, and without 
problems. I'm not using a lot of "bells and whistles" -- I'm using a 
vintage K3 with an outboard USB to serial converter from computer to 
rig, a Tascam US100 USB audio interface for the computer, and VOX with 
the K3 in DATA A mode. I'm doing almost no rig control -- all the USB to 
serial interface is doing is read and control frequency.  On the <Radio> 
tab of <Settings>  select the K3 under Rig, set the serial port that the 
computer has assigned to your USB to serial converter, set PTT method to 
VOX, set Mode to None, and set Split Operation to None.

The Tascam US100 is simply a very good vintage USB to analog stereo 
audio I/O designed for home semi-pro recording studios. There's lots of 
comparable stuff that works. It ONLY handles audio, no control functions.
