[Elecraft] FT8 TX levels = no power

[Peter Dougherty]

I should have mentioned, this is on a K3s. What radio settings are involved? Is it mic gain or something in the menu?

I did find the new Windows TX level for the K3s (purely by accident; I don’t think I could do it again on a bet), and I set it up to 100%. I also set the TX level in WSJT-X to 100%. I don’t know if there are any more level controls involved, and to be honest, I never like to run anything wide-open.

But with that said (and set), on FT8 transmit now I have four solid ALC bars, but I can’t push the 5th one to start flashing, as it had before.

What was even more aggravating was my RX levels went haywire and it took me almost an hour to find them. There’s GOT to be an easier way to control all these settings!

Ck radio settings.   After loading 2.1, I found rig setting changed from K3.   Once corrected all was ok.

Hi all,
I'm completely stumped at a problem I have no idea where to even start
looking at. Windows 10, version 1903 has completely buggered up the sound
mixer interface. No matter what I'm doing I can't get power out using
digital modes from the new WSJT-X version 2.1.0 (64 bit). 

CW and SSB are fine, so it's a computer problem, but evidently I'm not smart
enough to understand what's going on here. Has anybody run across this and
found a solution?
