Re: [Elecraft] LP-Bridge Question
Lee - LP Bridge is spectacular. It allows multiple software programs to interact simultaneously with the K3. It is stable, has an excellent manual, an active reflector (Yahoo Groups LP Pan), and excellent and immediate phone support from its author Larry Phipps. I have used LP Bridge with N1MM for several RTTY contests. It never faltered. It is totally transparent. In addition to allowing multiple software programs - maybe N1MM and Skimmer- to run simultaneously and bidirectionally contol the K3, it opens the possibility of a panadapter simultaneously running PowerSDR-IF from the K3 IF. PowerSDR's visual display provides lots of possibilities - see all the activity on the band at once, point and click tuning on dual VFOs if you want them, visibly adjust filters, band stacking registers, and more. LP Bridge is free. The panadapter can be implemented with Larry Phipps LP Pan, $220 built or $175 kit last I looked, or with a Softrock LiteII for K3 for less than $20. I use the Softrock. I have no commercial interest in LP Bridge or LP Pan. Stuff this good deserves recognition.

Re: [Elecraft] LP-Bridge Question
Lee, The current version (0.9.976) of LP-Bridge seems to work well with N1MM Logger. Previous versions did not work so well with the Logger, but this one seems to do the job. My basic normal setup is similar to yours (COM1 connected to the radio and a WKSUB for CW). With LP-Bridge I can run N1MM Logger, SDR-IF Stage with the LP-PAN, and other software such as MixW and DXLabs simultaneously without any obvious problems. N1MM Logger's support of the second receiver (interactions between SUB, SPLIT, and DVRSTY) is not perfect; ditto for its support of CW keying on the computer control serial port - but so far, when I have encountered problems with either of these I have found that the problems persist even when LP-Bridge is taken out of the picture, although some timing-dependent problems may display different symptoms. 73, Rich VE3KI Lee K0WA wrote: > OK, I am behind the times here and have been reading the thread about > LP-Bridge.

Re: [Elecraft] LP-Bridge Question
Lee. I use that setup for all my contestingworks great! You can give me a call if you have any problems with setting it up...but it is pretty straight forward. - 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Thu Dec 10 7:40 , Lee Buller sent: > >OK, I am behind the times here and have been reading the thread about >LP-Bridge.

You configure one or more "virtual" com ports within LP-Bridge for use by your applications. You configure your application to use the virtual com port. It's easy. Are there issues? There's one obscure issue that I know of that probably won't impact anybody but me. LP-Bridge does not pass !BExx (dsp direct) macros from N1MM Logger to the K3. That's the only issue I've encountered. 73, Barry N1EU -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/LP-Bridge-Question-tp4146003p4146083.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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
[Elecraft] LP-Bridge Question
OK, I am behind the times here and have been reading the thread about LP-Bridge. I am going to play with this when I get home this eveningbut...I have a question. How does it interact with N1MM Logger? Are there issues? I am using one real comm port (RS-232 type or COM1) to the K3. I am using K1EL keyer on USB for keying. Lee - K0WA In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common Sense divine? Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind. - J.
