[Elecraft] [K3] N3FJP rig control settings?

[Willis]

If you are using a USB converter rather than a rs-232 connection it may be your problem as many of the USB converters do not give you a full featured connection.

I didn't want to give up the simplicity of ACLog, but had hoped to make it work *fully* with the K3.  It does everything I need (and intuitively) except a smooth spot.  I am resistant to change with something I've used for so many years.  But, I guess one can't have everything.

I am a DX'er and an extremely casual contester (for the DX value).  ACLog reports K3's band and exact frequency; which is all I really want it to do for logging purposes.  I don't use it to control a rotator  (since my wire antennas and vertical don't need rotators!) and I don't use it to report DX spots;  I use the standalone DX cluster program DX Summit for that.  I also find the program easy to use for my LoTW uploads.

One good thing about ACLog (which is true of many logging programs) is that it will export your log in ADIF format.  If you chose to switch to another logger, it is relatively painless to export from ACLog and import into your new logger of choice.
