I've decided to find a use for my Elecraft K3 and figured I would use it for portable operation and try some digital modes; things that it is probably best suited for.
All I want to do is work some RTTY and PSK, have the radio polled for frequency and log QSOs using DXB on my laptop. No spots, call lookups, coffee making (XYL still does that) and so forth. So I've been trying all of the available (free) stuff and have rejected most of them. HRD is way too complicated. The DXLab suite was unstable on my system and is also too complicated. The DXBPsk program is pretty old and doesn't "print" as well as the later WinPSK 2.x.x but that doesn't interface with DXB. DigiPan, FLDIGI, Hamscope, KCOMM, N1MM have all been tried and found lacking for some reason or another. Some reasons are pretty simple; being able to use a macro to clear the receive window but no way to clear a transmit window, for example. Makes no sense. Joe's AXETTY works beautifully, but does only RTTY. So I've kind of zeroed in on MMVARI + MMD. By telling the program I have a Kenwood radio, I get the frequency OK, but even though MMD says it's "connected" to both DXB and MMARI, I fail to understand how to actually get QSOs into the log. Any tips? 73, Wes N7WS ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
