[Elecraft] FT8 and KX3

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob,

Select the K3 in Hamlib if the KX3 is not present in the selections.
Other than that I cannot help much with the computer end setup.

FT8 is no different than other soundcard data modes.

On the KX3 part, set the DATA mode to DATA A.  Ignore the common 
internet advice for setting the audio and power levels (and the WSJT-X 
instructions), and set the KX3 audio level to indicate 4 bars on the ALC 
meter with the 5th bar flashing.  Control the power with the power knob.

There is an article on my website www.w3fpr.com to assist you with 
setting the audio level.  Scroll down to the bottom of the left column 
and click on the link.

73,
Don W3FPR
