[Elecraft] [K3] N3FJP rig control settings?

[Terry Schieler]

If anyone has been successful in finding a way to send DX spot rig command strings *smoothly* from N3FJP's ACLog to a K3, would you please email me with the software settings you've used.  I have not been able to get ACLog to interface well with my K3 (#474) since I bought the rig (the software worked fine with my FT1000MP).  The software reads the K3 data just fine.  But DX spot clicks seem to go very slowly and the mode, band and frequency changes seem to be all mixed up.  Scott, N3FJP, told me that Elecraft sends the commands to the K3 in a "non-standard" format but claims to "generally support" the Elecraft line. The command string references I have found in the K3 manual have not been successful, but I don't rule out an error on my part there.

Other than recommending other logging programs can anyone offer an ACLog command solution. I'm not a contester and have tried all the popular logging/rig control offerings that many of you use.  Most programs offer WAY too many features for my needs.  Many thanks.
