Hi Mike Just having had my first experience with K3/iPhone - and I am thrilled! Had my first CW QSO with it - at speed 20 wpm which is at the limit of my typing capabilities on the small iPhone screen (a mix of letters and numbers as we have in our calls is particularly cumbersome on the iPhone kybrd!). It is not a solution you would like to use for rag chewing - but it makes it feasible to check in on the CW frequencies and say hello to your friends from time to time. I think the included macros will make the programme useful for just about everyone having each their preferred macros for commands not found on the screen elsewhere (So far I needed it for AF level, sidetone level, selecting LSB/USB and for ATU activation).
I am a 100% CW opr, but never the less, why is it that there is no button, so i need to send a K3 command in order to select LSB or USB? It's a great new use of the iPhone! For the audio I use Skype which works OK, but it is not best suited for CW. 73 and again thanks for a nice piece of SW Mike Poul-Erik OZ4UN -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] På vegne af Bill Brooks Sendt: 7. oktober 2011 04:41 Til: Mike KS7D Cc: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Reflector Emne: Re: [Elecraft] Remote Control of K3 with iPhone/iDevice Mike, Wow. Steve Jobs would have been proud. Just pointed out to the XYL I can sit in the den with the ballgame on, IPad in hand and work a little RTTY. This is just cool. Thanks, Mike.
