Try fldigi. It works with pskreporter for digimode spots. It has beam headings in it, and extensive macro facilities. I have a macro which rotates my antenna and another which sets my steppir, as I don't use the auto-follow feature. fldigi runs on Win/Lin/Mac. Leigh/WA5ZNU -- View this message

Tony, I use DXLabs. I works just great with the K3 and you can configure macro command buttons AND SLIDERS for variable controls. I have tried just about every program I can find and for me at least DXLabs is the best...AND...it is free. You download the Launcher program and from that you can t

I've used MixW for 7 years, and always been happy with it. However, I'd like to learn from those who have used other similar software. Here's what I use MixW for: It maintains my log, transmits/receives CW, RTTY and PSK, serves as a voice keyer, figures antenna headings and puts them on a display,

Ian, If your interest is mainly for digital modes, you might want to look at Fldigi along with Hamlib. If you want a K3 control application, then look at the N4PY software. IMHO, HRD is the most complete, but it does have problems when coupled with the P3 - the intense polling of HRD is its pr
