Something I find myself doing frequently is use the P3 with a SVGA monitor above the K3s, especially during a contest. In the heat of the game I find myself all too often twisting the OFS knob for the RIT/XIT control. As I rarely use the RIT and XIT functions, I would like to replace the OFS

Good Evening,     Conditions were poor to abysmal.  Slow QSB with moving bands of screeching QRN.  Both stations from the Midwest were good one moment and down two S units the next.  But it sounds like the worst weather missed those of you who could hear me.  Dry conditions for everyone due to

The $12 SYBA SD-AUD20101 is very good. https://smile.amazon.com/External-Adapter-Optical-Windows-SD-AUD20101/dp/B006SF68P2/ But for FT8, the built-in audio in a laptop is probably fine. Tests of external USB audio interfaces are here: http://www.telepostinc.com/soundcards.html wunder K6WRU Wa

I believe all the WSJT software needs Windows and X86 instruction set so iOS or ARM based tablets are out. I looked around bit but finally settled on a Dell 12.5 inch Latitude business laptop. It outweighs the KX2 by 3X but it has three USB 3.0 ports and a bunch of other features. I use it with
