Ray, Tks again for the idea. I now have the batch files set up to switch the K3's ANT every hour, half-hour or 15 mts while WSPR is running.; no other software needed.
My only question is: what happens if the K3 receives a serial command to switch ANT while it is transmitting? I assume the command will just be ignored, but would like to know for sure... 73, Drew AF2Z On Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:52:57 -0500, you wrote: >Here is a link that may answer part of the question: > >http://batchloaf.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/simple-trick-for-sending-characters-to-a-serial-port-in-windows/ > >His simple method of doing "echo hello <or your command string> to >com1" would probably work.
