[Elecraft] WSJT-X Band Following

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

To my knowledge you only need a USB cable like used with a printer to 
connect between the USB port on the radio and the USB port on your 
computer.  In the radio CONFIG menu set the RS232 value to USB.  You do 
not use the RS-232 port on the radio.   See page 18 of the K3S manual.

The remainder of the set-up is handled in the WSJT-X application where 
you choose:  Radio = Elecraft K3/KX3, Baud rate  = 38400, Data bit = 8, 
Stop bit = 1, Handshake = none, PTT method  =CAT, Mode = Data/Pkt, Split 
Operation = RIG.

This should get you up an running.  As to the friends TS-990, I'd 
presume it to follow the same implementation method except the values 
will likely be different depending on the requirements of the TS-990.
