[Elecraft] K-1 rig control

2015-02-27 Thread Al Hanzl
Ok New topic I am rather new to contesting, N1MM+, rig control, etc.! I have a K-1 s/n 151 which I enjoy using in contests. I also have an Icom 746 which I have interfaced with my Dell laptop W8 with some success. Can the K-1 be interfaced for rig control and CW contesting using N1MM+ ? Tnx Al

Al, The short answer is no. There is no provision on the K1 for computer communications. The K2 with the KIO2 or KPA100 option does have computer connection capability as does the K3 and KX3. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/27/2015 11:23 AM, Al Hanzl wrote: Ok New topic I am rather new to contesting,

Yes, you can key the rig from a computer using N1MM and one of the well-publicized circuits to convert RS-232 signals from a computer serial port to keying levels. What people are telling you that you can't do is rig control, meaning having the rig tell the computer what frequency it's tuned to or
