Allow me to disagree with Jim and Rick on this issue and
recommend some native Mac programs. I have used RUMlog (a
general purpose log program) and RUMped (a contest logger) for
several years. They are mature programs and Thomas, DL2RUM
provides excellent support. He has a new logging program,
RUMlogNG which provides the functionality of both programs and
is available at not cost through the Apple App store.
I just installed RUMlogNG yesterday, and am still getting it set
up. It will cooperate with fldigi to provide digital modes and
will directly run a K3 or KX3. Since the K3S is operationally
the same as the K3 as far as computer control is concerned, it
should also "just work".
NOTE: If anyone wants to load old QSOs into RUMlogNG, read the
getting started documentation first.
I am also a big fan of cocoaModem for digital modes. It supports
decoding both the main and sub receivers, which is nice for
working pileups.

Fellow Hams,
I received my K3-S a few weeks ago - and I have been marvelling
at it’s features. I still am awaiting the arrival of a
rotator - and them I will hoist some Yagi’s up… but in the
meantime - I am enjoying the awesome RX/TX on this radio….
I used to be quite an active contest station (alas no 4x4x4
here) - on CW/SSB and Occasionally RTTY - so please may I ask
for some steerage/advice regarding the best way to connect a
K3-S to a PC so I can automate some of the repetition of
contest work …. I fully understand and accept "DE TEST” is
not everyone’s cup of tea… But I enjoy it at times.
It appears that WinKeyer is popular - will that suffice just for CW ? How about
Data Modes ??
I would prefer not to have 3 or 4 options - but too keep things
simple. In the “old days” I used to use a SignaLink - which
I found flexible and worthwhile.
OS for PC: Linux or Mac - NOT Windows
Many thanks for taking the time to read this
Regards
Tim - A45WG
