[Elecraft] Contesting use

[ab2tc]

Hello,

I' cll chance another post to this very long thread. That device plugs into
a USB port on the PC and as I understand it injects keystrokes and mouse
events which are received by the program that has focus on the PC (the
active window). Perhaps in a contest run situation that will always be the
logging program, but for general use it's a big problem. Also you'd still
have to program the K3 macros into the logging program and assign them to
whatever you have programmed the "pod" to send when the various buttons are
pushed. That's more programming, not less. I and many others have one of
those Griffin wheels sitting unused on the shelf because of these
shortcomings. The Ten-Tec pod talks directly to their rigs and I am sure
that's what K3 users are asking for , too.
