A ot of good stuff going on the list. One thing I'm puzzled about is the amount of external control people are asking for. I haven't seen anything that can't be done with existing software. Programs like N1MM for contest allows you to sent macros to the K3. A real great day to dat program is he "Commander" module of DXLabs Suite. Here's my setup. I connect to the K3 via my microHAM Keyer 2R+ using LP-Bridge(Great program, thanks Larry) LP-B stands between the K3 and all other software. LP-B creats a "virtual" K3 in its memory. It knows the status of the K3 at all times. Through the use of "Virtual" COM Ports, LP-B connects other programs to the virtual K3 and passes only the necessary commands to the K3. I connect DXLabs' Command, CWSkimmer to a virtual COM port in LP-B. I've even had N1MM connected at the same time. The Command has a lot of standard front panel stuff already programmed for the K3 and it has 16 programable buttons to create macros with and 8 programable sliders for variable control of thing like audio, etc. I would suggest that those the want software control of the K3 look into these programs. The best part of this is they are ALL FREE!!! Oh, I forgot to mention that I also can connect the K3 UTIL and EASY-K3 when running the above setup!!!
Anybody want to discus this setup with me, please drop a line.
