You have the physical connections right Don.
RUMlog has been replaced by RUMlogNG, available through the
Apple App store with a donation requested. Its been a while
since I used RUMlog, but the basic setup is similar. Mine is:
Use CAT checked
For RTTY use Data AFSK A
For PSK use Data Data A
For unknown Data use PSK
Serial Port <The USB serial adapter you use for the Elecraft
K3 utility>
Baud Rate 38400
Stop Bits 1
Parity None
All the Flow Control and Power Up Lines unchecked
Interface Serial
For PTT use: TRS CAT
These settings should get RUMlog talking to the radio. RUMlog
will be able to copy the frequency from the radio, automatically
setting up the entries for frequency, band, etc. It will also be
able to make a good guess about the Mode of the QSO.
In addition, if you use RUMlogNG, there is a useful built in
contest mode that knows about many popular contests and can set
up the PF keys to send canned messages.
If you have any other questions, please ask.

Lee,
I am not a Mac user, but the connection should be easy.
It will be the same port and connection that you use for
loading firmware to the K3. Just tell Rumlog to use that same
COM port.
All the rest is your software application (Rumlog) setup, and I
cannot help with that part, but you asked about the physical
connections and I believe I have provided the correct answer to that.

Okay- Elecraft community please, I need basic help bringing my operations into
the
21st century.
Question: How does a simple (and cheap) ham do the physical connections
between
his K3 & MacBook laptop for RumLog to do automated logging and
other functions as outlined in the RumLog Manual?
I have K3 (#1896) with std accessories like the ATU, 100 Watt amplifier, single
main receiver, and 250 hertz roofing filter. When I added a
P3, the KXV3A Interface kit was installed. Usual basic ops is
CW, at QRP power levels. My antenna is a horizontal 40-10M
Skywave rectangle loop at 25 feet.
My computer companion is an enhanced MacBook Pro laptop. Until last summer, I
was logging all QSO’s, just like I did when I started my ham
radio journey. I then discovered RumLog for Mac and started to
tap the keys doing the same method of logging but w/o the
pencil. I had found a way to quickly match up repeats and have
some rapid verification through eQRZ.com. Then I wondered if
there was a way to have the technology do some other ops.
Though I use Cocoamodem for PSK, RTTY and more, I believe
RumLog will do more things than just logging. Appreciate any
help, please.
