Bob, You must remember that lists like this rarely sing the praises of any piece of soft/hardware.  The emails on such lists are HEAVILY biased towards problems, complaints and whining. My Elecraft

Well said, on all, Bob. And Yes, Elecraft provides the best factory service I have experienced in Ham Radio or any other unrelated product that I have purchased. They are one of the few. if not the

In reading the various sites, reflectors, and discussion groups, I am constantly amazed at the issues hams seemingly are having with their equipment.   I sit here every day in front of my K3S, P3,

No, it's not uSoft. I just looked at the website for Classic Shell and the original developer quit the project 12/2017. It's now called Open Shell and it's on GitHub. Classic Shell works fine though,

Is that an official µSoft product, or after-market? Sounds like a great program for us old W-7 users. I have been holding off changing over to W-Ø, mainly because of all the grief everyone seem

Thanks Mel. Sherm w8hi

You can make Win10 more user friendly by installing Classic Shell (free) which replaces the standard menu, which I intensely hate. Classic Shell brings the familiar W7 menu back.

I hate Win 10………… wa6vab

the problem I had with the soundcard after a w10 upgrade was that it changed it from stereo to surround sound. I could hear it slightly but since it was looking for a center speaker, it was muffled.

Think I have narrowed the problem down to W10 doing something with the sound card. I looked at the device properties and then all seems normal now. At this point I'm ruling out RFI or at least that's

On more than one occasion, and not limited to all bands, but perhaps only one or two bands, I have found RF is getting into the computer via the USB cable between the radio and computer. Using one of

I'll check those settings, thanks for the tip Bob. John WB5THT K3S, P3, SP3, KPA1500

The weird thing is my K3S, PC and WSJT-X were all happy (aside from some operational issues with the app) and playing together nicely since about mid-December. The fly in the ointment could be a Win10

I had that intermittent TX problem with my K3. I had to power cycle the K3 to reset it to again TX. After a few email exchanges with Elecraft I think these recommended settings fixed it: TX INH

I think it is the computer operating system which likes to go back to its factory set default. The Flex Radio SmartSDR has the same problem and the developers seemed, at least in Windows, to concede

Thank you Bob for the ideas. I just put the K3s into Tune and sure enough I was seeing the usual 20 watts (what I usually use with the amplifier) out on my station monitor so there's not an RF problem

I honestly don’t think I ran the K3 at more than 7 watts, to drive the AMP there is much info on this in the archives about the 12 watt usage, I just don’t remember. Unless 7 watts data usage is a

Jeff, The “Achilles heel “ in the K3 power stages is the 12 watt amplifier which is only conduction cooled. In normal use on SSB/ CW modes it seem to be fine all day at 12 watts out ( 8 watts out

John, This could very likely be an RFI problem, with RF getting into the PTT circuit. I had a similar problem. Try reducing the rf output to A very low value say 1 watt, and see if everything runs

I have lost Audio CODEC audio option in WSJT-X. It was working but no longer in WSJT?Setting/ audio dropdown. How do I restore CODEC for WSJT-X? 73, Jim K7EG
