[Elecraft] [K3} CocoaModem & MacLoggerDX

[Rick Prather]

Mike,

The lack of rotor control hasn't affected me and my dipole much!

Setting RUMlog up to run FSK-D you don't need any interface.  In fact even in other digital modes I don't use an interface between my iMac and the K3.  

In FSK-D rumlog keys the FSK in the K3 via serial connection and if you use the K3 onboard decoder you don't even need any audio cables.  I use at least one audio cable so that I can use CCM for decoding.  I find that's more flexible.
