[Elecraft] K3S with Ham Radio Deluxe, DM780 and WSJT-X

[David Needham]

Thanks, Don,
I will give that a try.

I am using the USB cable to my Win 10 PC. It installed COMM 8 and COMM 9. I
must not have the PTT settings right, yet. I can't get it to key the radio.
Do you know what those should be?

73,
