[Elecraft] Software suggestions for KX3

[Barry LaZar]

Mark,
      You can use the last free version of HRD. It does work with the 
KX3. Just set it up for K3 operation. However, If you want to do it to 
the max, download a copy of Win4K3, $50, and buy a USB sound card that 
runs 24 bit sampling at 96KHz or better sample rate. They run anywhere 
from $75 to $150. That will give you spectrum display, radio control, 
CW/RTTY/PSK31 controls and macros, and an interface to HRD. The Spotting 
software in HRD will connect to the DX clusters and put your radio on 
frequency by just clicking. You will need to download a copy of com0com 
for port replication, but that is free.

73,
Barry
