Re: K3-S RF output pulses while TX in FT8
In the original post, I should have said I am passing audio via CODEC, not a external sound card.
I have the KPA500 amplifier and KAT500 tuner, but the problem exists with amplifier off and tuner in

Re: K3 rotary encoder replacement fun-again
Hi Mark,
I hope you resolve your encoder issue.
My question is why do you leave your K3 powered on 24X7 for the past 9-10 years? What is your rationale? I would never consider that but was curious

My soundcard will produce a pulsing output tone at certain frequencies and under certain RF power out and WSJT-X Pwr drive levels, into an antenna or a dummy load. A change to any of these

K3-S RF output pulses while TX in FT8
When I transmit FT8, I can see the P3 (with TX monitor) display shows RF output is modulated or "Pulses". Pattern reminds me of watching AM modulation of a sine wave viewed on oscilloscope.

I started looking into doing a custom FTDI driver to have those options set whenever an FTDI standard device is installed (i.e. factory vendor/product ids). It looks like it could be done. FTDI

Re: Keying K3 on bootup
Should have said this port (COM4) is an actual RS232 serial port, not USB. Maybe that's the difference. But it does key-up the K3 on boot-up.

Re: Keying K3 on bootup
I was just trying this on my Windows 10/64 machine, which I believe is up-to-date. My COM ports all show up in Device Manager as PCI Serial Ports, e.g. "PCI Serial Port (COM4)" for my K3 CAT port.

As noted below:
One goes to Device Manager, picks the COM port, change advanced settings so
“Serial Enumerator” is unchecked
“Disable Modem Ctrl At Startup” is checked
