May I suggest the place for this kind of info is on the K3 Wiki at
http://www.zerobeat.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page
I'm not saying it isn't of interest to members of the reflector, but
if put on the Wiki, it's there for all time and not spread across
posts here
And if people start complaining of bandwidth use here, you can just
maintain it there.

Use N3FJP ACLOG without issue. In the past I used some of his
individual contesting software. Now I use N1MM and sometimes MMTTY.
Only have an issue with MMTTY, that is more likely me needing to
know where to change a setting. All else has worked fine.

operating experiences which may be

software, so that we will not have to reinvent the wheels!!!
Using K3 with K1EA CT-DOS v 10.03: the following worked FB
Plain vanilla pc machine running either WIN98se or 6.22
DOS. K1EA CT-DOS V 10.03, set COMTSR2 -b4800 active, choose
TS940 as transceiver and
in ct setup, comport2 = radio1, 4800baud.
Bandmap, band changes-from the K3 & from CT all worked. Did not
check split freq operations.
lpt2 as keying interface with CT paralell port circuit
worked fb
NOTE: I had no tnc and cannot vouch for point es shoot,
announcements etc
Using CTWin Windows op version of K1EA CTWIN:
PC: Dell laptop 840c, xp pro, with Prolific USB-Comport device
as comport3. Baud rate 4800
Transceiver TS940, setup: comport3 = radio1, 4800 baud rate
LPT2 as keying input
RESULTS: CTWIN worked fb EXCEPT entering freq on ctwin did
not change the K3
frequency but changing the freq on the K3 registered fb on
ctwin. Again no experience with a tnc, spot annoucements etc. I
do not know how to set up CTWIN for TELENET operations.
Using ctWIN IN WINDOWS XPPRO, K1EA CTWIN
PC: Dell840c laptop, Prolific USB-Comport device AND LP-Bridge
software from <Telepostinc.com> setting LP-Bridge Virtual
Comport 1 with 1A option checked & K3 baudrate set at 38400
baud.
LPT2 as keying input toctwin.
RESULTS: CTWin worked fb, could set K3 freq from ctwin, all
else as above.
This technique of using a Virtual COMPORT via LP-BRidge might be
one method of using both the LP-PAN panadapter AND a logging/
contest program simultaneously. NOTE there are 3 possible
VIRTUAL COMPORTS available on LP-Bridge software.
Others might relate their expereinces with other loggin/contest
software as well
