[Elecraft] JT65 Problems

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

If all you changed was the computer, then the problem is with the 
computer setup.  Is the setup for your data mode application software 
set up the same on the old computer and the new?

Does the red TX LED light?  If so, the PTT signal from the application 
is putting the K3 into transmit.  You must set the computer soundcard 
audio for 4 bars solid with the 5th bar flickering.  Do you have that set?

How is the computer application sending PTT to the K3? Via CAT command 
or via the RS-232 connection?  If the RS-232 connection, is it using DTR 
or RTS?  Is the K3 PTT-KEY menu set to the same signal for PTT?

In other words, too many variables.  Give us your complete setup 
information, and maybe we can help.  Just saying "it doesn't work" can 
leave a large batch of possibilities.

Since you know the K3 worked before (with the old computer), then the 
problem is with your application setup on the new computer.

73,

When I used a new HP pavilion laptop, its sound card, the set up indicates CAT and PTT is working and the K3 responds accordingly. But the K3 will not transmit. I have tried many modes, adjusted ALC, but can't get the K3 to transmit. Is there a K3 setting I am missing when attempting to run JT65 with WSJTx version 1.7 or 1.8?
