[Elecraft] K3: PowerMate Knob Software

[Mike McLendon]

I am looking for anyone interested in testing and providing feedback on some
software I am developing.  If you have a Griffin Technology PowerMate knob,
a PC running Windows XP connected to your K3 serial port and would be
interested in having a go at the application, read on.
 
I have seen various requests for K3 features such as a band switch, memory
tune and so on mentioned in forums and have talked to a couple of contest
operators about what frequently used functions are needed during a contest.
I developed a Windows application that allows the user to select and program
K3 commands into the PowerMate knob's TAP, HOLD, ROTATE CCW, ROTATE CW
movements. The application is named PowerMateNet and it is released under a
no fee GNU GPL license.
 
The application features an practically unlimited storage for the user's
favorite commands, 10 user programmable quick function program access
buttons and operation in the background so other programs can run. At this
time I have tested operation with Telepost Inc's LP_Bridge port sharing and
that works great with LP-Pan, Power SDR external band decoders and so on.  
 
If interested, drop me an email (mike at mclendon dot info) and I will send
you the download link.
 
Here is the Griffin site if you are curious about the Human Interface Device
(HID) that they sell:
