When i got back into ham radio in 1993 i bought an IC725 basic radio and made a
homebrew Serial to TTL converter so i could use the PC for controlling the
radio. I have never looked back and have been using PC control ever since. I
built the interface in a 25 pin D connector shell because thats

Here's my bit:

works great - no computer control then.

If you dont have an RS232 port on your computer you can add either a
USB to RS232 adapter or better a multi port PCI or PCIE serial
adapter, these all can be had for less than $30 and much-much less
if you buy online.

The fun thing about ham radio is all of the different activities you can
participate in. For me chasing DX has always been my main focus. I also work
the occasional contest and in both of these activities the modern computer
assisted operating station (Elecraft K-line, SDR-IQ, Dell I7 computer) is
While I enter several contestes a year, I try to do my share of
DX and rag chewing. I usually have a computer hooked to my rigs.
SInce I try to upload every HF contact to LotW -- I even log net
control for the Elecraft SSB net and anyone I relayed for I need
my QSOs in machine readable form. En

but I like to spin the knob so usually don't use rig control. 73 de Dave KJ6CBS

Don't they at least deserve to be considered prior to changes in the way we
operate daily?
I think we do.

Interesting observation. Because contesters have been such a large part
of the K3 customer base, our needs and habits tend to be considered
There seems to be an almost universal assumption that, if you have a
transceiver in the shack, it is connected to a computer full-time.
That is certainly not the case. Plenty --perhaps most-- of hams operate their
rigs in a standalone mode without computer, even while at home. This may come
