Looking for guidance: FT8 and Flex-3000

jaypea500

Is there a step-by-step guide here (or anywhere, really) on setting up the Flex-3000 for use with WSJT-X for the FT8 digimode? I think I have all the pieces (PowerSDR, VSPE for virtual ports, VAC for audio, NetTime for time sync and WSJT-X). Just need to figure out how they all go together.

Thanks!

Yes, Flex has a guide called "How to Setup Virtual Audio Cable (VAC) (version #) with PowerSDR" in their section PowerSDR Tips and Tricks.

A video that might assist too is "PowerSDR ke9ns v2.8.052 using wsjt-x FT8 (as an example) with powerSDR" on YouTube.

Other respondents can probably give other resources and additionally just 'Google' your query.

Thanks, Erik. But I've looked at both those resources, and while they have bits and pieces of what I'm looking for, they aren't very complete. Seems there's a few missing pieces.

As for Google, three days worth of searching hasn't really come up with much. Hence my inquiry here. I'm hoping that someone who's been through this has a guide of sorts...
