This is exactly what LP-Bridge is designed to do... allow integration of
K3, LP-PAN and a number of other simultaneous applications like loggers,
CW Skimmer, etc., as well as hardware that needs frequency data like
SteppIR and AT Auto. LP-Bridge will expand to include other capabilities
as well.

Many of use our rigs with contest software. Here are some
operating experiences which may be
helpful: Please report your own expereinces with other
software, so that we will not have to reinvent the wheels!!!
Using K3 with K1EA CT-DOS v 10.03: the following worked FB
Plain vanilla pc machine running either WIN98se or 6.22 DOS.
K1EA CT-DOS V 10.03, set COMTSR2 -b4800 active, choose TS940 as
transceiver and
in ct setup, comport2 = radio1, 4800baud.
Bandmap, band changes-from the K3 & from CT all worked. Did not
check split freq operations.
lpt2 as keying interface with CT paralell port circuit worked fb
NOTE: I had no tnc and cannot vouch for point es shoot,
announcements etc
Using CTWin Windows op version of K1EA CTWIN:
PC: Dell laptop 840c, xp pro, with Prolific USB-Comport device as
comport3. Baud rate 4800
Transceiver TS940, setup: comport3 = radio1, 4800 baud rate
LPT2 as keying input
RESULTS: CTWIN worked fb EXCEPT entering freq on ctwin did not
change the K3
frequency but changing the freq on the K3 registered fb on ctwin.
Again no experience with a tnc, spot annoucements etc. I do not know
how to set up CTWIN for TELENET operations.
Using ctWIN IN WINDOWS XPPRO, K1EA CTWIN
PC: Dell840c laptop, Prolific USB-Comport device AND LP-Bridge
software from <Telepostinc.com> setting LP-Bridge Virtual Comport 1
with 1A option checked & K3 baudrate set at 38400 baud.
LPT2 as keying input toctwin.
RESULTS: CTWin worked fb, could set K3 freq from ctwin, all else
as above.
This technique of using a Virtual COMPORT via LP-BRidge might be one
method of using both the LP-PAN panadapter AND a logging/contest
program simultaneously. NOTE there are 3 possible VIRTUAL COMPORTS
available on LP-Bridge software.
Others might relate their expereinces with other loggin/contest
software as well
