[Elecraft] K3 SignaLink & FT8 Question

[Don Wilhelm]

Doug,

The SignaLink has both a soundcard and a USB to Serial port adapter.  Be 
certain that the proper COM port and soundcard are selected in the data 
mode application.  The K3 RS232 menu parameter should be set to 38400 
and that same rate available in the COM port and the software application.

73,
Don W3FPR
