Since the day it first powered on, my K3, #3192, has featured full USB radio CAT/keyer support with dual channel embedded audio I/O. All I need to do is plug a single USB cable in to any computer for all of this functionality with any popular logger/rig control software.
Totally painless and plug and play on any recent MS OS, from Win2k to Win 7, on laptops, desktops and even netbooks (I've tried them all). What is it? Its called "The microHAM microKEYER 2" :) Paperclip reliable, no RF pickup, works with Dynamic or Electret mics, dual receive compatible for dual RX RTTY, keys CW, RTTY, PSK, HellScrhiber, THROB, Stream, (in fact, every digital soundcard mode I have ever tried), built-in DVK, and CW memories, Two Tone test signals and features a setup/management GUI you can use to customize it. Dont want to use the computer? Its also a self contained keyer with a built in WinKey chip. It also can display your other VFO/KRX3 frequency in its LCD display when the display on the K3 is being used for other things, like RIT or CW Decode. And it "impersonates" a Icom rig, allowing you to directly interface to things that use the CI-V bus natively; helpful in my all Icom club environment when I bring in my K3 to use the microHAM antenna switching system... everything works just like the 7700 or Pro2's were connected to the Station Masters without any reprogramming! Just plug the CI-V cable in and go! Folks, you've just spent over 3 grand on a high performance radio... Spend the extra $430 for a high performance interface to match it, and you will never want to use anything else. -lu-w4lt- K3 # 3192 Message: 11 Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 08:28:14 -0500 From: n...@widomaker.com Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3: USB port To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Message-ID: <20101119082814.73272qtssn1bz...@webmail.widomaker.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; DelSp="Yes"; format="flowed" Let me get this straight, and you have NO audio cable from the K3 to the computer? And, you're getting audio on the computer through the RS-232 cable? So what's the purpose of the "Line IN"/"Line OUT" jacks? Is the computer mic 'live' and picking up from the speaker(s)? confused, ....bc nr4c ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
