[Elecraft] Logging and sailing - PDA?

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

Note that "windows" for PDA's doesn't use the same executables (or
even, I think, the same source), so the program almost certainly have
to be ported.  Given the scarcity of serial port solutions, it's
unlikely the port to a PDA is a high priority.  I could be wrong about
all of this, of course, but I'm confident I'll be corrected if I'm
not.

I've used little Sony Picturebook computers that run real Windows 98 for much
operation, and they'll do the trick.  Look at

That's a "ruggedized" K2, MFJ-4125 and a Sony.  I was using a PAR
20M EndFedZ strung along the low waterfront trees.

I have a Palm TX, which I like a lot.

   Thanks for second post on that Julian - this time I looked at it :-)

   I'm a Palm man really, but I have an old iPaq that was kinda permanent loan
   and I'd be interested in knowing if anyone gets this going with a K3.
   And then if anyone has Mac sync to get logs off - or maybe copy to SD card
   and take from there.
