Didn't Wayne have a smart phone solution a couple of months ago? Sorry,
can't remember the detail.

Pignology has a wifi interface that makes an iPad feasible as a
logging/controlling computer. There's a version of Rumlog for iPad, as
well as Pignology's Hamlog. Android tablets reportedly work as well.

Please allow me to hijack this thread to ask about low power draw
computers for use with the K3.
Last field day I set up our club's digital station with a K3/10,
SignaLink
USB, and a MacBook Pro. The combination worked very well, but the MacBook
Pro, connected through the Apple power adapter and a Radio Shack inverter
drew 3 to 4 times as much power as all the rest of the system. I used the
Elecraft USB <--> RS232 cable for rig control.
So I am looking for a computer that runs on 12 volts and draws a minimum
amount of current. It should be low noise and all those other good things
as well. My OS preferences are in order: MacOS -- because I know it,
flavors of Linux -- so I won't have to configure a Windows system and
deal
with Microsoft's license verification, and finally Windows.
On the MacBook Pro I was running cocoaModem and RUMped. I expect on other
OSes I will run fldigi and a contest logger to be names later.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers - Bill, AE6JV
