[Elecraft] K3 Remote VFO tuning control

[WM3M]

Jim,
I am not sure of this but from what I understand there are no Window 7 
drivers for the Griffin PowerMate.  There are XP drivers but not Windows 7, 
etc.
I believe also that Griffin has stopped making them and will not provided 
new drivers and it will not work without the drivers.
I do not know this first hand but when I checked into buying one this is 
what I found out.

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.
