[Elecraft] Windows Computer for K-line station

[Rick Prather]

Ted,

Looks like you are getting a lot of good advice for a PC.  I wonder though
what software you feel is missing for your Mac?

For logging I like RUMlog or the new RUMlogNG.  They integrate with my K3
nicely, and in the case of RUMlogNG, the P3 control screen is something I
miss when I play with other loggers.

For Digital there is FLDIGI or cocoaModem.  While cocoaModem is no longer
supported by Kok Chen it is still very functional and has the unique
advantage of being able to watch two RTTY screens at the same time if you
have the Sub.

For contesting I use RUMped or Skookumlogger.

BTW, I am puzzled about your comment about lacking drivers for your Dell
display for the Mac.  I have never needed any drivers for any monitor I
have used on my Macs.  Currently I have an Asus connected to my mini using
DVI and an HP using HDMI.

73,
Rick
