[Elecraft] KX3: advise for setting up for WSJT-X

[Edward R Cole]

Firstly, I am quite comfortable/experienced running JT65 with my K3, 
so hopefully some of that will transfer to setting up the KX3.

I have ordered a West Mountain "RIGblaster Plug & Play" with 
RJ45-to-4 ring mic jack optional cable for interfacing my laptop to 
the KX3.  I still have to download latest vers of WSJT-X.  Hopefully 
includes a version that has test tones for setting levels.

I note the DATA button on the KX3 and guess one uses either headphone 
audio or IQ output from  ACC2.  Not sure which is used by the West 
Mountain  I/F.

Any advice from KX3 users of digital modes (particularly on 6m) would 
be appreciated.  It can be off-list as this as probably been "hashed 
over" before (I just didn't pay attention).

We are departing with our 5th wheel trailer for a 2-month+ 9,000-mile 
trip to lower-48 within a week.

Major operating plans: CQ-VHF Contest July 21/20 (6m/2m) from 
Longmont, CO, and
ARRL 10-GHz Up Contest from Copper Harbor, MI (shore of Lake 
Superior), August 17/18.

KX3 with KXPA100 will be used for both plus mobile on the trip , 
occasionally from RV parks.  I have 80m & 20m Hamsticks, plus 6m 
Moxon and 2M7 yagi.  APRS tracking when underway.
