[Elecraft] Sending AFSK RTTY--FIXED

Thu Mar 21 22:22:02 EDT 2019

He will also need com0com, a free port replicator that runs really well 
with Win4K3. I have a half dozen virtual ports defined and have run with 
as many as 4 at a time with no noticeable issues.

>Yes, you're right, and I will miss the ability to have multiple CAT connections...that's a biggie and the ability to mute the mic on .wav playback as well. I should have said that I have (almost) all the functionality that I had before for the features that I use. At this point, I'm trying to simplify things for the next couple of months, get things working reliably, then introduce an SDRPlay, Skimmer, and Win4K3 after Dayton.

I had a great run with the MK and MK-II over the years and yeah, there are a few things I'll miss, for sure, but the reduced complexity--both physical and software/PC related, and reduced potential for RF ingress are substantial positives as well.

>Yes, the K3/KIO3B or K3S USB Audio CODEC behaves exactly like the K3 with analog Line In/Line Out.  The USB Audio CODEC is essentially "grafted on" to the Line In/Line Out.  In fact "Speaker (USB AUDIO CODEC)" is connected in parallel with the analog Line Out jack.
