I've been using the Navigator with the K3 for a couple of years now and am totally satisfied with it (well almost, see below)! I bought the interface cable from US Interface (which I recommend) and it works great. All the K3 FW upgrades go straight thru with no problem.
If you already have the Navigator you know that the setup takes somewhat of an effort to get all the virtual com ports set up. But once that's done is runs like a champ. Here is the "almost": I run primarily CW and the built in Winkeyer works OK but there is one problem I have run into. I can't seem to get full QSK to work with the Navigator/Winkeyer/K3. There is always a slight break-in delay even with full QSK set on the K3. It's not usually a problem with normal operation but does effect contesting or DX chasing. I haven't tried to track down a fix for this thru the Navigator group. I usually just switch to the K3 keyer if I really need the QSK. I am sending a copy of this reply to the Navigator group so maybe Clint or someone over there can shed some light on the problem. Hope this helps, Don, K5DW ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Price" <[email protected]> To: "Elecraft" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 11:34 AM Subject: [Elecraft] Navigator and K3 > > Has anyone used the Navagator US Interface with the K3?
