It's also much easier to add RTTY to the mix. I ran CW, RTTY and SSB with N1MM in ARI, 7QP and NEQP a couple weekends back. My next step is to be able to d the same with my laptop. Heck, add the new 2M module and you can do almost everything from one rig for FD... Now we need Eric to release

Writelog and N1MM are both more powerful software packages but how much power do you need for field day? We're not talking about dedicated CQ WW teams who get together and practice using software for three months prior. For the most part FJP's FD logger gets used by folks on field day who

For one thing, if you're jumping back and forth between CW and SSB it's nice to have the computer log the mode appropriately ... it's pretty easy for any operator to forget to change the mode manually each and every time. Rig control does it for you. And with regard that, the N3FJP software

Wes et al,   Have used FD Logger for a few years now, and always used somebody else's rig. This year my goal was to get my K3 before FD to use with the program keying the rig.   FJP's info states that an interface is necessary to do this. I thought the config function PTT-KEY could be set to use

Sorry Bill but I have no experience with the program keying the rig or using it with the K3. I use it as a logging program and do my own keying. My rig was and is until my K3 comes back from Aptos, a TS870. My usual logging program is DXBase but the N3FJP is excellent for FD and does all of
