Re: [Elecraft] K3 Utility for Mac OSX new features not working
Hi Wendy, CONFIG tab showed up all buttons in gray, so I was unable to save my configurations, etc. Are you saying that all of the buttons on the Configuration tab are disabled? I cannot reproduce this. TERMINAL tab CW Memories -- I typed in a CQ and it transmitted OK. I can't find how to edit it. Nor could I find a way to save to the Utility memory -- I quit and restarted and my CQ was gone. Nor does it record into the K3 Menu, which is what I really want. Is it supposed to do that? The CW Terminal Memories are edited and saved by selecting CW Terminal Memories... under the Edit menu at the top of the display. Make sure the CW radio button is selected on the Terminal page. These message memories (CW, RTTY and PSK) are for storing frequently used messages for use with the terminal. They are not the K3's CW messages described in the Elecraft K3 Owner's Manual. Use Edit CW Memories under the Configuration tab to edit and save the K3's CW Memories. Messages typed into the Terminal window itself are not saved upon exit.

Yes David. all the buttons on the CONFIGURATION tab are disabled. Thanks for the instructions on saving CW Terminal Memories. I looked under HELP/ CW memories but found no advice. Is there some form of instructions yet?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Utility for Mac OSX new features not working
I got it solved, David. I don't have internet in my primitive shack, so I had downloaded the software in my house, using K3 Utility. Then I closed (to sleep) my Powerbook, walked out to the shack, and connected it to K3. I still had Utility open from before. Apparently, Utility needs to see the K3 when it starts up, otherwise it seems that the Configurations AND the help menu are dead. This time I started Utility while connected to K3. It now works like a charm, loading my CQ perfectly into K3 memory. And the HELP is magnificent. No problem now! Thanks so much.

Next time this happens, try clicking on the buttons anyway and see if they are still functional even though they appear disabled. I'll continue to look into it. There might be a bug somewhere.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Utility for Mac OSX new features not working
If you start up the application without the K3 turned on or attached, you don't need to quit the application to get it to talk to the K3. Just turn on the K3 (or plug it into the RS232 adapter), then go to the Port pane and click on the Test Communications button. If all is well the Mac will display an alert box telling you so. Close the alert box and go on with your K3 tasks. This is a pretty cool little application. Thanks, Dave! -Jack Brindle, W6FB === On Apr 22, 2009, at 7:27 PM, Windy Dankoff wrote: I got it solved, David.
