[Elecraft] OT - WSJT-X & K3s

[Gary Smith]

Bob,

Because of logistics, I can't connect the 
K3s to the computer directly, I am using a 
powered USB hub. That shouldn't be an 
issue, if I halt  LP-Bridge (which stops 
control of my logging software), I can use 
the K3 & P3 utilities.

I did try closing LP-Bridge and running 
WSJT alone (changing the port to 8 which 
is what the K3s is identified with) but I 
had similar results. 

I have tried the different settings in K3s 
config under PTT-KEY but that hasn't 
helped either.

I really hate to take up a lot of 
bandwidth on the reflector lest it become 
an overload & the thread becomes closed. 
OTOH, for those that want to use their K3s 
with this program and are not getting it 
to work, this thread may help them as 
well.

73,

Gary KA1J
