[Elecraft] K3(s) Beta Firmware

[Elecraft] K3(s) Full duplex with 2nd RX ?

This came up as a possibility a couple years ago. I was wondering with the k3s new RF board and synthesizers if there is a chance for full duplex operation with the 2nd RX. Would make for an interesting possibility of single radio "SO2R" operation Mark. N2QT

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

W4TV mentioned RUMlog et al to me in response to my posting. I installed the general QSO logger and it does, indeed, look good. It doesn't support all my hardware so I'm not likely to adopt it myself, but it does look like a viable logging package for MacOS for most users. 73, /Rick N6XI On

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

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,

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

I would not call CocoaModem orphaned. It is open-source, and when things break, we (myself included) are trying to fix them. It is not well supported, however. And, it works pretty well under OS X 10.11.3 (El Capitan) on my Mac mini. - Jack, W6FB > On Jan 27, 2016, at 2:53 PM, Joe Subich,

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

For CW and RTTY FSK keying I use a MicroHAM DigiKeyerII. This has the WinKey chip and it is easy to install and operate however I do not know if it will work with a non-Windows computer. GL, John KK9A Wed Jan 27 13:51:20 EST 2016 Fellow Hams, I received my K3-S a few weeks

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

For any windows users watching this thread who actually care what their morse sounds like in a contest I would suggest the WinKeyUSB3 from K1EL. Instead of relying on windows to correctly key the rig with a direct serial connection the contest software generates ASCII characters and sends the

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

I second the vote for RUMLogNG for both general logging and many contests. It's a good way to get back in without spending the time required to learn the Windows contest programs. BTW, RUMLogNG supports the WINkeyer and I usually use it but I have never had problem with my Mac using the onboard

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

I would hesitate to call these "full featured and mature" as compared to DXKeeper, which automates applications for awards like DXCC, and tabulates totals for dozens of awards by band and mode. Nor as compared to N1MM Logger Plus, which supports hundreds of contests and has many features that

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

Yes, but if you apply that category to all programs, there are very few, including commercial apps, that survive. I am 100% certain that there are major software applications that are now completely detached from the developers (any developers), that perfectly fit your description. Some of

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

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

You need to consider several separate aspects of radio automation. Assuming you are operating with one radio, consider these: - Operating System: There are logging programs for Linux and MacOS but your choices are much more limited than with Windows. When I switched from Windows to

Re: [Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

Regarding this point, to me the easiest way to run Data modes is to simply use the USB connection between the radio K3S and the computer USB port. No box, no USB to Serial adapter or other cables required. I use FLDIGI and it handles CAT control of the radio and data/audio. Set the CONFIG
