I have to disagree with you about RUMlog Joe. I use it for general logging
all the time. It even has net control which is a boon for me. RUMped does
the contesting stuff very well and I also use that but RUMlog is a terrific
general purpose logger. I especially like being able to search my log
Remember also that Wine is available and runs well on OSX
I use both Win-Test and KComm on my iMac; both run perfectly with the
K2 K3. SD runs also but can be quirky.
KComm could probably be compiled to run directly on the Mac also as
the source code is available, but I'm too scared to try it.
Fldigi is available for Macs and has a built-in log which is somewhat
rudimentary. I haven't tried, but suspect it wouldn't take a lot of work to
get Xlog to run in OS X, along with hamlib to support a K2 or K3.

RUMLog is a bit more than a pure DX/Contest package, for example it

Tom was using RUMped, not RUMlog at 9X0TL. And µH Router was never
in the loop; RUMped talks directly to the digiKeyer II.
My mistake. What I saw looked like RUMlog. My cursory evaluation a
couple months ago showed interoperability with RUMlog, uH Router,
cocoaModem and DK II.

I doubt that you did anything on the Control Board to cause this problem.

Check the Low Pass Filter first. Since it receives weakly on both

Jim,
Turn off the preamp in your K9AY system and you can use it on other bands.
The preamp includes a bandpass filter for 160 and 80. You should have
usable sensitivity on other bands without the preamp.

On 40 meters and up, I use transmitting antennas at 90 degree offset. 90
degree offset dipoles on 40 deliver a surprising separation on weak dx
signals who don't have the big towers and beams. At high incoming angles
the offset dipoles separate the signals by incoming polarization.

Joe,
An even simpler approach that doesn't even require a computer is to just
use the text decode feature of the K3, which scrolls RTTY text on the VFO B

Memories with your callsign and the exchange can be recorded

The KUSB is Elecraft's USB to serial adapter. I would try yours first to
see if it works before buying another one. Elecraft's uses FTDI chips now
and works well, however.

True, but RUmlog has much better integration with the K3.
The K3 status panel and macro buttons have become features I miss when I only
run MLDX.
I also occasionally use RUMlog's access to FSK D.
I do run MLDX at the same time because I like it's QRZ look up and general
appearance.

I'm not sure how this is supposed to work and I can not find an answer in
the K3 manual. When I first got my K3, I thought when I was tuning RIT that
my receiver frequency changed but the VFO A display did not. Now when I
change RIT, VFO A frequency reading also changes and to me, this is
Tommy,
I tried my RIT and I agree that the VFO A frequency appears to move as you
turn the RIT knob. But if you transmit, the VFO A frequency reverts back to
the original frequency. I suppose it might be better to keep the VFO A
frequency the same and only show the offset +/- setting for RIT
Hi Tom,
This is correct. In receive mode, the RIT amount is added to the VFO A
display. But when you go into transmit mode, the RIT offset is taken
back out (try using XMIT to see this).
You can turn XIT on if you want the offset to apply to both RX and TX.
If you want to see the RIT offset
Maybe I should have restated this as questions. :-)
Has this feature (a separately adjustable transmit monitor level just
for the line out) been implemented and I missed it? If not, has this
already been covered in recent discussions? Is this a desirable
feature for anyone else?
