[Elecraft] Which terminal program for contesting/etc with K3

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Phil,

Both N1MM and WriteLog are very popular and K3 friendly. And both programs
can activate K3 macros if you desire.

A second monitor is independent of any program. It's strictly a Windoz
thing.  You'll be able to slide one or more of the various windows from any
contest program to either monitor.

If you have a P3 with the SVGA option and one of your monitors has dual or
triple input capabilities you'll be able to look at your expanded K3 screen
on one monitor and do your contest logging on the other. Push a button on
the front of the monitor and it's back to being a second monitor under
Windoz control. If you have the desk space you could add a third monitor
just for P3/SVGA use. Some station photos on QRZ.com show hams with 3 and 4
monitors. 

73,
Mike K2MK
