Re: [Elecraft] K2 and Linux contest logging

Neil - 2 Great choices here. Elecraft and Linux. If you want a full contest CW system then you can configure TRLinux. I would go easy on running things under Wine - as depending upon what DLL’s have been used - effects how the emulation will work. If you really really need to use a

Re: [Elecraft] logging/k3s control program

To K1TGX- I have a K3 (not K3S), but the integration with DXLab is about the same. The part of DXLab that integrates with the radio is called Commander. Once Commander is configured to talk to the radio, you can start up DXKeeper and it will find it. To N4ST- yes, Commander has buttons and sliders

Re: [Elecraft] logging/k3s control program

Efficient fast control of a K3S or K3 is the rationale behind the K-NOB. Sitting right next to your keyboard so your hand doesn't have to move more than an inch or two, it has 8 switches that can launch up to 16 macros on the K3 in addition to the knob that tunes VFO A, B or the OFS (RIT/XIT).

Re: [Elecraft] logging/k3s control program

I’m not sure that DXKeeper does *everything* one might want. It does not seem to support an easy export to SOTA (Summits on the Air) and it does not run on Mac. RUMlogNG does both of those. Different strokes for different ops, I guess. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj

Hi Jerry I have used Turbolog 4 for many years and this covers all of your requirements except full rig control. However, my experience is that it is better to use a separate dedicated program for contests. I use SD for all contesting and it is very simple to export the SD log to TL4. 73 BTW

Doug, How you wire the KRX3 AUX ant will depend on how you plan to use your antennas with it. Normally, the main RX and the sub RX will share the same antenna through a 3 dB splitter. You don't have to do anything special to share your single antenna. However, if you want to use a
