[Elecraft] New release of Win4K3Suite supporting the SDRPlay RSP2

[Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

Win4K3 is a rig control program.  It does include a panadapter display 
for those who have the hardware to provide I/Q signals to a computer 
soundcard - that much is built-in and does not require additional 
software applications.

The Win4K3 software provides "hooks" to be able to run additional 
applications that normally would want to use the communications link to 
the K3 themselves - normally only one application at a time.
But Win4K3 allows the use of multiple applications that would normally 
want connection to the K3 "all to themselves", and that allows a lot 
more flexibility in your choice of various applications that want to 
communicate with the K3.

It does not itself generate CW, but does provide the "hooks" for running 
software applications which you *may* want to add.  The choice of 
applications is yours to make, and the justification for the cost of 
those applications is for your judgement only.  There is nothing in the 
Win4K3 documentation that says you have to use any particular 
application - it simply states that "these applications are supported" 
by the Win4K3 software.

73,
Don W3FPR
