[Elecraft] K3 & Logic 8

[Richard Thorne]

I've been using Logic8 with decent success with the K3. 

I selected the TS-850 instead of the K2.  When I used the K2 selection 
it would not put the K3 into split mode while the TS-850 selection does.

I do have a couple quirks.  Sometimes I get a radio time out and I have 
to go to tools to reset the radio communication.  I occasionally have to 
select set rig twice to place the rig in the correct mode.

Bottom line the TS-850, in my case, is more stable and useful than using 
the K2 selection.

For what its worth TRX Manager has been updated to support the K3 and 
Laurent keeps adding K3 features.  TRX communicates with Logic8 as a 
rig.  Another option is HRD (Ham Radio Deluxe), I have not used it much 
but theres a way to interface HRD with Logic and HRD supports the K3 
very well also.  But to be honest, unless I am running my remote 
controlled station (long story as its been off line for over a year now) 
I don't see why you would need or want to bother with another software 
program.  I think other guys run HRD or TRX as they find it easier to 
control the rig and get to menu items, and they may be right.
