[Elecraft] K3 and TRlog

[david Moes]

Our club has been using TRlog for many years for Field Day and plan to 
continue to use it for several good reasons.   for the most part they 
are using it stand alone without a rig connection other than keying 
CW.    in comes the K3 and the possibility of simple rig control and 
here is the problem.

there seems to be some odd reactions   when band changes are made TRlog 
fails to show it without delay.   often the frequency display on TRlog 
will go blank and then show up again at either the new or old frequency 
then finally will settle down and show the correct info after 10 or 20 
seconds.   Also band changes at TRlog don't work  I can only change it 
at the rig.  this is running it under windows.     if I boot into DOS 
7.1 and run TRlog it all seems to work fine.       I don't really know 
where the disconnect is   something to do with windows Im sure   it acts 
the same whether running XP   or window 7.  has   anyone  run into this 
and better does anyone know of a fix   I fooled around with some of the 
polling delays to no effect.

Here is the related section from the log.cfg  as used   I used Kenwood 
rig  for the K3 as its recomended by TRlog.

RADIO ONE CONTROL PORT = SERIAL 1
RADIO ONE BAUD RATE 4800
RADIO ONE TYPE TS850

and the K3 is of course set for 4800 as well

  I am thinking that the ultimate answer will be to run it from DOS but 
Id rather use windows so that I can use other applications as well.
