Just a note to say that I have just released the latest version 1.1 of KComm, a logging program written specifically for Elecraft K2 and K3 transceivers, available for Windows and Linux.
This is a free program, written to meet my personal requirements, which I am making available in the hope that some other Elecraft enthusiasts may find it useful. To avoid wasting anyone's time, I will make it clear that this is a *logging* program, not a computer control program. The interface for operating the radio is the radio's front panel. If you want to be able to change frequency, band, mode, filter etc. using the keyboard or mouse then there are many other programs, including HRD, that can do that for you. KComm uses the same log format as MixW. Under Linux it can accept log data from gMFSK using IPC, similar to W1HKJ's Fl_log program. It has an option to create a separate backup copy of the log file at close down. This can be an FTP server. (An interesting future development would be a PHP script that can read MixW log files and display them in a web page.) KComm can send CW from the computer keyboard and up to 16 memories using the Elecraft KY software command. Under Windows it can also use CWGet to read Morse so you can easily transfer calls, reports, name, QTH etc. into the log by double-clicking the decoded text in the window. Under Windows KComm can also send and receive PSK31 and PSK63 using the computer sound card, with the aid of AE4JY's PSK Core DLL. It was the original intention that KComm would be able to send and receive PSK31 and RTTY using the K3's built in DSP encoder and decoder, without needing to use the sound card. Currently that ability is still awaiting a better way of getting at the decoded text than the TT1 command provides, as it is impossible to separate the decoded text from other responses sent by the radio. All the KComm documentation is on my web site, so you can find out everything you may need to know about the program by visiting http://www.g4ilo.com/kcomm.html .
