If you are a K3 owner/operator, you may be interested in a new iPhone application. I call it the K3 Micro Manual as it incorporates most of the K3 Owner's Manual in a handy iPhone format. It is compatible with iPhone (iOS 3.1.3 and later), iPod Touch and iPad. It has been updated to include the Owner's Manual Errata, and all firmware changes since the Owner's Manual was published. Thus, it is current through November 14, 2010. In addition, I have included operating tips from the Elecraft web site, selected emails from the Elecraft Reflector, and operating experience.
If you think you may be interested in this app, it is now available in the Apple App Store. It is listed under the Reference category. Just search for "K3 Owners Manual" or "ks7d." I welcome your input on enhancements to this application, and for your favorite operating tips. I plan updates over time to this app to keep it current with the latest Elecraft Owner's Manual, and to add new features. Following is the table of contents for the app: K3 Micro Manual Table of Contents: Overview of Application Introduction Key to Symbols Table of Contents Controls and Connectors Introduction Primary Controls Display Multi-Function Controls Keypad Memories VFOs RIT/XIT Rear Panel Connectors KIO3 Connectors KXV3 Connectors Quick-Start Introduction Connections The Basics Filter Controls Voice Modes CW Mode Data Modes VFOs and RIT/XIT Transmit, ATU and Ant NB, NR and Notch SPLIT, BSET and SUB Memories, Messages and DVR Menus and Switch Macros Other Features Basic Operation Fundamentals Receiver Setup Reducing Interference Transmitter Setup Voice Modes CW Mode Data Modes Advanced Operation Text Decode and display CW-to-DATA Tuning Aids: CWT and SPOT Audio Effects (AFX) Dual Passband CW Filtering Receive Audio EQ Transmit Audio EQ SPLIT and Cross-Mode Extended Single Sideband (ESSB) General-Coverage RX VFO B Alternate Displays Alarm and Auto Power-On Using the Sub Receiver Receive Antenna In/Out Buffered I.F.

I need to get an Android phone to test the application on before it is released. Testing in the emulator is fine, but it must be checked out on actual hardware before release. 73, Mike ks7d ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft 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
