I've been following this thread but have not responded since my impression
of the original request was for a self-contained tuning knob that did not
require use of external software and an associated computer. I agree with
Ian's proposal that, although it is not a standalone solution, the Shuttle
I use an homebrew logging program for normal and contest logs. Uses MMTTY
engine on FSK RTTY and WA0TTN version of PSKcore.dll on PSK. Running
Win98se cos it works OK. I have 2 serial ports. 1 for FSK, cw keying, PTT
etc. The other connects the logging program to the K3 to give freq readout
and
I know that N1MM and many others support simply typing the frequency
into the callsign field for immediate QSY. While I prefer a full size
keyboard, a lot of times laptops are used for logging which lack the
keypad and the '+'/'-' keys off to the right. Still, I like your idea
and it might be
I like operating from the keyboard and mouse whenever possible, but sometimes
a hardware device that does not require the computer to be on is best. (For
reference: I am currently running a hybrid approach to handle frequency
changes. In SSB as an example, the majority of the time I run DXLabs
N1MM Logger supports tuning using the up and down arrows on the
keyboard. Separate tuning increments are used for SSB and for CW/Data
modes, and both of these increments are user-configurable. There is a
third user-configurable increment for macro up/down tuning commands that
can be programmed
All,
I only caught this thread partway through, and the recent Digest emails
have been quite lengthy so I don't even know who was asking originally.
However I do have my own solution to this problem.
I originally wanted something to be able to fire off the DVR without
using a contest

Further to my email below I've now written a page on my website and have
included a zip file with the script for people to have a look at. No

I did a search for the suggested callsign and the term K3 (as well as
other terms) and found very little information. Seems there was a flurry
of postings some time back (years ago) and not much since. Can I assume
the project never came to fruition? Or, is there an obscure website that
does
Of note: I tried sending an email to the callsign suggested - it bounced.

Interesting - I have emailed both and looked at the page you linked.
Seems this is directed towards the Flex radios.
Not sure how this would apply to the K3.
Currently, I use V5 of HRD and chase a mouse and mouse wheel. It works,
however, is not a tuning knob as such.

Both of those look simple and interesting. They may also work with HRD.
Time to tear a mouse apart.
Thanks for those links,

Before he was forced to quit writing K3 software due to health and other
concerns, Julian, G4ILO wrote a small program called K-Tune (still available on
his website) that used the Griffin PowerMate for tuning and some other control
functions on the K3.
If you use a logging program that uses

I think you're missing the point.
What's wanted isn't some USB piece of hardware and an application/driver
to run it. What people are talking about is something that will operate
independently of a PC; something that plugs directly into the K3. That
way it can be used with your logging
Earlier, a post made reference to using part of a mouse. So, I went
through my computer junk box and came up with a mouse that I stopped
using because the mouse wheel dents were so light that I could hardly
feel them. Now I am using that mouse with HRD V5 and my K3. It is an
answer as it is -
I would like to see a remote tuning device (VFO control only) that can
be moved around the desk etc. It needs to be simple - such as an extra
VFO encoder mounted in a box and on a wire in parallel to the existing
VFO-B encoder. Elegant by simplicity - it could plug into a jack

Not going to hold my breath - will order a spare encoder and do it
myself. If it works FB, and I see no reason it will not, I'll post more
info after I do the install.
