Yes. While I like the N1MM logger, use it, and recommend it to others, it has it's problems, and those who write the software don't like to be told about them. I learned that the hard way -- when I did, they took me off their email list. :) My primary issues are 1) If the exchange you enter isn't what N1MM is programmed to accept, it won't log the QSO, BUT IT WON'T TELL YOU! I worked KP2D, but because the country file was "old" it didn't believe KP2D was a good call, so it refused to save it. Why wasn't the country file good? Because N1MM had crashed halfway throught the contest, and I hadn't reloaded the current one. So I made this QSO, but it's not in my log. I lose the Q, and the other guy gets penalized for two QSOs! I asked for a switch setting to ALWAYS SAVE a Q, no matter what, and let me fix it later. They refused to do that. Why? They don't want N1MM to save a "bad QSO." 2) You're running and start to respond to a station who calls you but hear him repeat his call, so you stop sending (ESC). You're using their "Enter Sends Message" mode, so <ENTER> should send your exchange. But because you hit escape, it now asks the other station for a fill rather than sending your exchange. Makes you look stupid and slows everything down, in a very common situation. In comparison to these issues, control issues with the K3 are minor. :) 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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
