[Elecraft] K3 & Ham Radio Deluxe

[Poul Erik Karlshøj (PKA)]

I am using HRD 5.24 and remote access (using Teamviewer).
It works well enough for my use (100% CW)

For me, the problem with a few  buttons is just an annoyance.
But there are other shortcomings in old HRD versions. I don't know if they apply to the most recent versions.

1. Keying a Winkeyer is possible, but the buffer handling is very slow in starting up sending CW. I used it for several  years, but had a real "eyeopener" when I changed to using the WK Demo program. It is so much faster and works absolutely great.
Actually using HRD with its poor buffer handling for keying a Winkeyer may lead to the misunderstanding that the internet latency is an obstacle against using CW-over-IP. It generally is not.
2. RIT does not work (I just use split VFO)
3. There is no good reading of the K3 SWR. However the TX level in upper left corner does show the SWR well enough to let you know if you have to activate the ATU (also when operating on a long latency internet connection)
4. Some  buttons do not change colour when selected. Of the few I use, the following do not change colour: Split, Test, NR, ALT. But that's not a real problem.
5. The VFO-B frequency reading acts strange. It seems only to read the frequency when I change VFO-A value. So if I push A>B and then change VFO-A it will change to the old VFO-A value.  As I recall it, I did not have this problem  on earlier versions.

Which buttons do not function correctly?  If I knew that, I would try it in my HRD 6 version and report back.
