I don't want to start an apps war, but I'd like some information so that I
can make decisions to suit my personal (RF) needs.
I've been gradually putting the new shack together and have connected the K3
to the PC using an Edgeport USB, 4 port RS232 facility. I've connected
FLDIGI directly and I've installed LOG4OM, although it's not directly
connected to the K3 yet. I also have no problems updating firmware on the
K3, KPA500 and KAT500 as well as the Icom IC7100, all using separate
discrete ports.
I now need to make a decision on which bridging software to use for RS232
CAT control (NOT firmware updating). LP-Bridge would seem to be very
suitable, or possibly OmniRig, but neither quite as convenient as
Win4K3Suite. There are possibly others, but I don't want to generate a
massive list here.
I'm happy enough to use the Elecraft Utilities for many things, so I ask
myself whether I would really need the sophistication of Win4K3Suite, given
that I'm happy enough to write my own macros and press buttons on the rig
itself.
Please don't criticise the various products, but I would be very pleased to
hear real life experiences and constructive comparisons of the suites that
are available for use with the K3, peripherals and other software, to help
me decide the best way to go.
73,
Alan. G4GNX
