[Elecraft] Software suggestions for KX3

[Doug Ellmore]

Mark,

I have both the KX3 and K3.  My current software configuration is to use
Win4K3 ( http://va2fsq.com/ ) as the main software.  It provides a
panadapter scope (interfacing a Steinberg UR22 USB Soundcard to get a full
192khz spectrum) to the KX3/K3 I/Q.  I then use Ham Radio Deluxe HRDLogger
and Rotor Control.  Win4K3 allows me to log Qs from the Win4K3 terminal
into HRD and ADIF.  Chasing DX, I can use the built in CW/PSK/RTTY features
of Win4K3 and the KX3/K3 to chase and operate.

In contesting mode, I still use Win4K3 with N1MM+.  I also use cwskimmer.
Win4K launches skimmer, HRD, and other apps.  It will put spots from
cwskimmer/wintelnetx into panadapter display.

Win4K3 works with ClubLog to see your worked/confirmed to help you see if a
new one in the spots is need or not.

I will email you a configuration PDF.

Win4K can be used in a small discrete way or to help you integrate all
these other apps.

I used Win4K flawlessly this weekend during the ARRL DX Phone contest to
find slots to call cq/run.

Need any other info, drop me a note.

Hello all,

I posted a question on here a few weeks ago about software for controlling
and enhancing the KX3 experience.   I had previous experience with
MacLogger and because of that and a lack of clarity on my part many of the
people who responded assumed I was currently running an Apple which I am
NOT.  I am not running iOS.  That was my issue for not specifying which
system I was running on.  I am using a Win7 dual core laptop.

I have also tried HRD and found it pretty good but now that HRD is charging
almost a $100 for their software and even ongoing support I figured there
might be better options available.

I am primarily interested in following active calling frequencies (DX
clusters) and general controls.  Waterfall displays would be really nice
also.

What do other users like and recommend?

Thanks,

Mark
