[Elecraft] logging/k3s control program

[Barry Simpson]

Hi Jerry

I have used Turbolog 4 for many years and this covers all of your requirements except full rig control. However, my experience is that it is better to use a separate dedicated program for contests. I use SD for all contesting and it is very simple to export the SD log to TL4.

73

BTW I always get immediate responses from the designers/purveyors of both programs to any problems or queries that I have and both continue to be updated regularly.

In searching the interwebby one can be overwhelmed with the myriad of software available. I would appreciate any input for my needs. I apologize if the following are pretty much standard in all programs.
