[Elecraft] JS8call

[Karl W Hubbard]

 Thanks for the explanation Jim. The KX3 has a DATA A mode. When I selected the 7.078 frequency from the  40 meter band on the JS8cal drop down menu  at the top of the screen, it would register that frequency. If I used LSB, then I couldn't enter any frequency. . But I am going to try with the DATA mode again, maybe with the Signalink. I also have to look up my sound card on my laptop. It will be a lot of trial and error, which is why I would think the Ham Radio manufacturers would have instructions for setting up a few utility software programs for their specific rigs.  From my limited knowledge and almost total lack of experience, I would think that WinLink / RMS winlink and JS8Call would be mainstream now, along with a resurgent CW.
>From a promotional standpoint, including this how to set-up would be advantageous.
In fact, my daughter always complains that she has "mic fright" and doesn't want to get her General license and go on SSB phone. JS8Call would be a good way to ease her beyond her tech license by showing her, "See? You don't even have to talk, you can just text!" Every 19 year old does that!

The difference with most radios is that SSB settings can be set by the 
user to add signal processing, which can make a mess of digital modes. 
Most rigs disable all that on the DATA input, which is set to transmit 
USB. If your rig lacks a DATA input, be VERY careful to disable ALL 
processing (EQ, Compression, Limiting), and use the Line Input (may be 
called "Patch" on older rigs).
