Bruce, Several of the programs mentioned will handle sending CW via a macro. You said "Both read and write". Does that mean you need the software to decode the received CW as well as send it?
Win4K3 includes a 'terminal' function that can use the built-in CW encode/decode capability of the K3. You can set up macros, and it can log to its own log file or optionally to DxLab DXKeeper, Log4OM, or Ham Radio Deluxe.It basically sends the characters from your keyboard to the K3 which converts them to CW on transmit, and displays on the screen the text the K3 has decoded on receive. Win4K3 requires payment, but is worth it in my opinion for the many capabilities it provides. DxLab includes WinWarbler which can send CW in several different ways, and includes macros. It can display decoded CW directly from the decoder in the K3 or from a couple other software CW decoders. It also logs to its own DXKeeper logging program. DXLab is completely free, and is incredibly well supported by its author. I use it for DXing and as my master log, among other things. N1MM can send CW in at least a couple of ways, and includes macros. Even though it's primary purpose is contesting, it can also be used as a general DX logging program. I don't know whether it has any CW decode abilities. I use N1MM mostly for contesting, and I use a clone Winkeyer with it for CW keying. I'm sure there are plenty more possibilities, However, my experience with machine decoding of CW has not been very good. If the CW signal is strong and the timing is good, and there's not much QRM, they do ok. I have yet to see one that does as well as the decoder between the ears. That should at least give you some ideas to explore. 73 de W0ZF On Sat, Aug 14, 2021 at 12:26 PM Bruce Wade <n7z...@gmail.com> wrote: > Tnx for the input.
