[Elecraft] OT - WSJT-X & K3s

[Luther Phillips]

My software setup with a K3S, LP-Pan, and Asus U5 is as follows:

LP-Bridge creating virtual ports for:

NaP3
CW Skimmer
Ham Radio Deluxe (last free version, 5.0 Build 2893, using the Logbook as my 
main log)
N1MM or WriteLog for contests

Note that HRD versions newer than about 6.2 will not work with LP-Bridge.

I am able to run WSJT-X  V1.8 rc2 & JT Alert by selecting Ham Radio Deluxe 
as the radio in WSJT-X, which connects it to the HRD server port. Sometimes 
changing bands from WSJT-X takes two tries, but otherwise it works fine, 
even in split TX mode. I'm also using the USB sound card in the K3S for the 
audio in to WSJT-X. Works great, I've seen decodes down to -26 to -28 in 
JT65 & JT9.

JT Alert automatically sends the info for each contact to HRD Logbook when 
the 73 message is sent, or you can send it manually.

If you haven't upgraded WSJT-X to the new 1.8 rc2 version, you should do so 
if you are using it for FT8. There are a number of significant FT8 
improvements in rc2.

There is a WSJT-X user group on Yahoo.

Win4K3 also provides virtual ports and a HRD server port, maybe WSJT-X would 
connect to its HRD server. I have not tried that method.

Hope this is of some help.

73,
