[Elecraft] K3 Memory Editor (PC application): looking for testers

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi all,

Our PC software engineer, Dick (K6KR--not to be confused with N6KR :)  
has completed the first release of the K3 Frequency Memory Editor. It  
is Windows-only at present, but we hope to provide Mac and Linux  
versions in the future.

This application helps you maintain your K3's frequency memories using  
a spreadsheet-like editor. It handles all regular memories (00-99)  
and, optionally, per-band quick-memories (M1-M4 for each band). Once  
you've sent the data to the K3, you can recall memories using either  
the M>V switch on the K3's front panel, or the editor's "QSY" buttons.  
You can even save sets of memories in PC files and share them with  
other K3 users. This might be useful for setting up multiple K3s for a  
contest, etc.

At present the spreadsheet allows display/edit of VFO A and B  
frequencies and modes, repeater offsets and tones, the 5-character  
memory label, and a larger description field. Unused (blank) memories  
can be hidden or displayed. We'll add more data fields in future  
releases, along with cut/paste capability.

If you're interested in testing this early release of the memory  
editor, please email me directly (n6kr at elecraft dot com). To use  
it, you'll also need to install the latest field-test K3 firmware,  
which I'll send you, along with full instructions and release notes.

73,
