Re: [Elecraft] k3 being turn on when N1MM is activated

Thank you both for your help. The problem is solved. Normally (about 98% of the time), LP-Bridge sits (software wise) between the K3 comport and the N1MM program. During contests, since there is a significant slow down with that arrangement when I attempt to use the CATASC1 SWT21 commands, I
