Unfortunately, Chen has abandoned cocoaModem ... it is orphan software.

Allow me to disagree with Jim and Rick on this issue and recommend some
native Mac programs. I have used RUMlog (a general purpose log program)
and RUMped (a contest logger) for several years. They are mature
programs and Thomas, DL2RUM provides excellent support. He has a new
logging program, RUMlogNG which provides the functionality of both
programs and is available at not cost through the Apple App store.

I just installed RUMlogNG yesterday, and am still getting it set up. It
will cooperate with fldigi to provide digital modes and will directly
run a K3 or KX3. Since the K3S is operationally the same as the K3 as
far as computer control is concerned, it should also "just work".

NOTE: If anyone wants to load old QSOs into RUMlogNG, read the getting
started documentation first.

I am also a big fan of cocoaModem for digital modes. It supports
decoding both the main and sub receivers, which is nice for working
pileups.

Fellow Hams,
I received my K3-S a few weeks ago - and I have been marvelling at
it’s features. I still am awaiting the arrival of a rotator - and them
I will hoist some Yagi’s up… but in the meantime - I am enjoying the
awesome RX/TX on this radio….

I used to be quite an active contest station (alas no 4x4x4 here) - on
CW/SSB and Occasionally RTTY - so please may I ask for some
steerage/advice regarding the best way to connect a K3-S to a PC so I
can automate some of the repetition of contest work …. I fully
understand and accept "DE TEST” is not everyone’s cup of tea… But I
enjoy it at times.

It appears that WinKeyer is popular - will that suffice just for CW ?
How about Data Modes ??

I would prefer not to have 3 or 4 options - but too keep things
simple. In the “old days” I used to use a SignaLink - which I found
flexible and worthwhile.


OS for PC:  Linux or Mac - NOT Windows

Many thanks for taking the time to read this
