What computer??? The only thing I need a computer for with the K3 is to update the firmware. Of course it is nice to have it connected to my logging software and panadapter, but I certainly don't need any of that to control it. I already had the computer so I can't say that was a factor at all. Are you saying that the FT-9000 has all the logging and propagation software built in? Wow! That's really nifty!
