[Elecraft] logging/k3s control program

[Dave Fugleberg]

To K1TGX- I have a K3 (not K3S), but the integration with DXLab is about
the same. The part of DXLab that integrates with the radio is called
Commander. Once Commander is configured to talk to the radio, you can start
up DXKeeper and it will find it.
To N4ST- yes, Commander has buttons and sliders that are easily programmed
to run macros on the K3/K3S. There are a bunch of examples available on the
DXLab wiki site, or you can roll your own.
To K3KO, I agree that screen real estate is precious (no matter how many
monitors one has). However, one thing I like about DXLab is that you can
minimize the windows you're not actively using. For example, you need only
the small 'capture' window open to effectively log contacts, and it will
pull in the relevant info from the radio, your log, etc. even if the other
modules are minimized.
