[Elecraft] Raspberry Pi, K2 and WSJT-X questions

[James Bennett]

Hi Jim,

I can’t give any suggestions / answers regarding the K2 part of the question, but…. I run a KX3 connected to my Raspberry Pi 3 and operate WSJT-X JT65, JT9, and MSK144. Also use FLDIGI, but very, very seldom. I use a Tascam external USB sound card: the US125M model. With WXJT-X up and running, if I select the Preferences->Audio tab, here is what I have:

Input:    sysdefault: CARD=CODEC   Left
Output: sysdefault: CARD=CODEC   Mono

And yes, there a bunch of devices listed in that drop-down, but the above works just fine for me.

I’m running Raspian Jessie for the OS, and my WSJT-X is a development version: 1.7.1 r7557

Hope that helps on the audio side.

73, Jim / W6JHB

A similar issue exists on the Output selection. I don’t understand what I am seeing. How do I get to see the USB card in WSJT-X?
