[Elecraft] KX3 companion
I have up to now resisted looking at this APP. But today rec'd a keyboard and USB dongle for my Samsung TAB 2, so I took the plunge. Wow! This is a really cool extension to the basic KX3 radio. I can see many hours of exploration into this new world. Great job!

[Elecraft] KX3 Companion, does it work?
Have anybody got the KX3 Companion App for Android to work? http://kx3companion.com/ I downloaded the app and tryed it, but the app locks up i after TX. Also, the App has a 4 seconds delay after the last text is sent, and there doesn't seem to be possible to adjust this delay. Due to these flaws, the app is unusable for me. I have tryed the both with my Sony Xperia Z phone and my Samsung Tab 2 7 and with 4 different OTG cables, and the app locks up after TX on all devices. Have anybody else got the KX3 Companion app to work OK?

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Companion, does it work?
Martin, I cannot make any comments about the app locking up after TX, but I can comment on the 4 second delay - I assume you are using data modes. When sending data modes that originate as ASCII text, the KX3 (and K3) have a 4 second hang time to allow for interruptions in typing. To terminate immediately, end your text string with the | character. This character will be interpreted by the KX3 as an immediate stop. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/26/2014 6:50 AM, Martin Storli - LA8OKA wrote: Have anybody got the KX3 Companion App for Android to work? http://kx3companion.com/ I downloaded the app and tryed it, but the app locks up i after TX.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Companion, does it work?
Do not think the lock up is due to the app, but rather to interference on the connection between the KX3 and the tablet/ phone. An opto isolator should eliminate this. I had a similar problem with both HC and other Amateur software. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-Companion-does-it-work-tp7590569p7590574.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Companion, does it work?
Martin and All, Yes, I think KX3 Companion does work. Shortly after it was first released, I downloaded it onto my Motorola Droid Maxx. Once I obtained the OTG cable (not easy to find locally), I hooked it up to my KX3, and it seemed to work very well. I haven't really had a chance to use the program very much, but I also have connected a bluetooth keyboard to simplify the typing process. I think there may be an update to the KX3 Companion program which I have not yet downloaded. Possibly there is a glitch in that which may be giving you a problem??? I would think the program would work well on your Samsung. Anyway, I can tell you that it should work, so keep trying. Someone else may have better info to pass on to you.
