And there is also the Ham Central Terminal. It communicates with the
KX3 via the ACC1 (RS-232) port on the rig and mirrors the received
data (CW, PSK31 or RTTY) that is decoded by the KX3. Internally, the
HCT will save the most recent 80 characters decoded, and permit you to
scroll backward to pick up something you may have missed. It also has
internal logging capability, as well as additional message memories
and macros.
The NUE-PSK modem will permit you to save a raw "snapshot" of all
decoded data on a USB thumb drive as a text file. But it does not do
logging. It does have message memories.
I have both devices, and each works quite well. They both use a
standard PS2 keyboard, which is available in compact versions,
suitable for portable/field operation. And each device is very low
power, and can operate over a range of voltages, via external
sources. The HCT will also run via an internal standard 9 V battery.
