[Elecraft] K3 Remote VFO tuning control

[Jim Sheldon]

Before he was forced to quit writing K3 software due to health and other concerns, Julian, G4ILO wrote a small program called K-Tune (still available on his website) that used the Griffin PowerMate for tuning and some other control functions on the K3.

If you use a logging program that uses the RS-232 port to read data from the K3, you'll need to install and configure LP-Bridge to allow multiple programs to access the K3 through the one serial port.  

I have not used it yet, but I did order the Powermate this morning - check around, Griffin wants $45 on their website, but you can get it cheaper elsewhere (I got mine from B&H Photo for under $30).

I've heard that K-Tune works well with the Powermate, but as I said, no experience as of right now -  I have used other programs by Julian though, and they have all worked very well so I plan on giving this one a try as well.
