[Elecraft] K3 software utility needed

2009-12-10 Thread Barry N1EU
There are some very useful little applications being developed out there by the K3 user community. I'd just like to plant a seed for a potential new application to augment the limited display of the K3. How about a simple application that would be a full-time display of various K3 settings that

This problem has already been addressed by N8LP and that's why I specifically mentioned LP-Bridge in my original post. The availability of LP-Bridge is precisely what opens up the possibility (and power) of using a simple display application like I described to address the K3's limited display
