[Elecraft] K3 Utility questions

[Gary Smith]

I'm starting to explore other options with 
different software and my K3s. My main 
interest is in being able to send CW, RTTY 
and it would be a nice plus to send from 
the voice memories when calling in a 
pileup and not have to keep hitting the 
function button every time I put out my 
call.

Seeing as I have the K3 Utility already 
working, I have found the terminal seems 
to work well for the immediate needs on 
CW. I do though have to run it separately 
from my logging program because the only 
port that is available is #8 and that is 
dedicated to the K3 and the logging 
program takes ownership of it. Once I make 
a contact I have to shut off the utility 
and load the program to get it logged. 
Then if I want to use the terminal I have 
to do it all over again.

I tried to use OmniRig to run the 
K3/logging program and the Elecraft 
Utility but see no way to share the 
utility with it. 

- Is there another software to use the 
terminal with the K3 at the same time? 
Maybe another method? Right now I'm trying 
not to add more hardware.

- Also, I tried to use the memories in the 
Utilities terminal for RTTY but could not 
get RTTY to work. I'm sure I missed 
something I need to change in the 
configuration but if so, I don't know what 
it is.

Suggestions?

Thanks & 73,
