[Elecraft] KX3 and WSJT-X Setup

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

Aaron,

What you fail to tell is: What hardware does your Linux Mint 18.3 run on?
What I don't know and cannot test is what USB device code is produced by 
the SignaLink. Normally a sound card is recognised by the linux kernel 
but in some cases it isn't

Try to open a terminal screen (Ctrl-Alt+T) and type: lsusb
That will list the available USB-ports in Linux and any asociated device.

On the other hand: If the PC is a desktop and has both a line in and 
headphone out, use these to route audio to and from the KX3. WSJT-X 
produces an audio tone that is transmitted as a carrier by the KX3 and 
receives an audio tone from it, hence the dial setting and the use of 
Upper Sideband.

In Mint, audio in and out can be set by right clicking on the 
speaker-icon and choose audio-settings from the drop down menu.

There is no need to set the audio to 48000 Hz in the config.
I have never done this and WSJT-X, to me, works as advertised. Even on 
my Raspberry Pi and an external Creative XFi USB soundcard.

Of course YMMV

73, Peter
