I am looking at purchasing a QRPworks SideKar display and USB keyboard
terminal to use with my KX3. I guess I have given up waiting for the
keyboard for the PX3. Does anyone have experience with the QRPworks
products and in particular, the SideKar? I like the idea of macros and
messages that allow for serial numbers. I am not sure about logging as
paper seems fine, but a data file would make it easy to enter contacts
into LoTW. My K1EL K42 CW Keyboard also "does" serial numbers and can
embed the callers callsign into the message. I CAN use the K1EL
keyboard for CW but it won't work for PSK31 or RTTY with the KX3 using a
key input as the KX3 only will do PSK31/RTTY with a paddle (why not
keyer generated input?). Since I want to do PSK31 with a keyboard, I
may be "stuck" with a SideKar without the ability of the PX3 to handle a
keyboard (and serial numbers)...
What are others using for PSK31 portable (no computer) with your KX3?
