[Elecraft] [K3] N3FJP rig control settings?

[John Shadle]

Hi Terry,
I have been using N3FJP's AC Log for a while, both with my K2 and now
my K3. I haven't had any trouble at all with DX spotting and clicking
on a spot to do a frequency change with either rig. I can take a look
at my settings if you like.

So, basically, clicking on a spot doesn't work? You're getting the
wrong mode and even frequency? That's strange...

N3FJP recently updated AC Log and it's a much improved program. It's
now at version 3.2 (although I have only upgraded to 3.1 so far,
myself). If you purchased it in the past, you're entitled to a free
upgrade.

It might be best to try to post your question to the AC Log list, too.
I've found Scott and the rest of the list members invaluable in
setting up the software.

> 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.
