[Elecraft] Logging and sailing - PDA?

[Nigel]

I used CTR-Remote successfully last year with an ipaq H3970 and my K2 when
operating W7/ZL2DF in Seattle.   

I was able to 'drive' the K2 from the ipaq and when logging calls, the freq,
time mode were automatically transferred to CTR-Remote.   Back home, I was
able to directly import the log file into DxKeeper, my main logging program.

The interconnection between the ipaq and the K2 was using a cable from
Serialio

937313834f
Which plugged directly into the db9 K2IO cable -  no null modem needed.

I think this would drive a K3 too for the limited data you would need for
logging in a 'portable' type operation.
