If you are interested in a CW and data mode program for Windows that will take advantage of the built in encoding and decoding capabilities of the K3, there is some information and a screenshot of my new program KCommunicate at http://www.zerobeat.net/smf/index.php/topic,87.0.html . In the absence of my own K3 I have added PSK31 and CW decode support using third party software so I can use it with my K2. This program is the diametrically opposite approach to HRD in that all the radio control is done using the knobs and buttons on the radio. The computer is used for logging and for sending and receiving data.
The program is not generally available yet although it is working well enough to make some QSOs. If you are interested to know when it is available to try out, subscribe to the forum and keep an eye on that topic. This will probably not happen until after Wayne has added support in the K3 firmware for getting the decoded text in a packetised format and for detecting which data mode is in use. Although my main interest is in making something I can use (on Windows) and I don't intend making this my life's work as HRD seems to have become for Simon, the program is being developed using Lazarus, a cross platform development tool very similar to Delphi. Source code will eventually be made available under the GPL for Linux or Mac developers to port it to those platforms, or indeed for Windows developers to add features or develop whole new versions, if there is interest in doing so. Please use the forum if you have any questions or comments about the program. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
