[Elecraft] K3 to MacBook connections

[Lee Broestl]

Okay- Elecraft community please, I need basic help bringing my operations into the 21st century.

 Question:  How does a simple (and cheap) ham do the  physical connections between his K3 & MacBook laptop for RumLog to do automated logging and other functions as outlined in the RumLog Manual?

 I have K3 (#1896) with std accessories like the ATU, 100 Watt amplifier, single main receiver, and 250 hertz roofing filter.  When I added a P3, the KXV3A Interface kit was installed. Usual basic ops is CW, at QRP power levels.  My antenna is a horizontal 40-10M Skywave rectangle loop at 25 feet.

 My computer companion is an enhanced MacBook Pro laptop.  Until last summer, I was logging all QSO’s, just like I did when I started my ham radio journey. I then discovered RumLog for Mac and started to tap the keys doing the same method of logging but w/o the pencil.  I had found a way to quickly match up repeats and have some rapid verification through eQRZ.com.  Then I wondered if there was a way to have the technology do some other ops. Though I use Cocoamodem for PSK, RTTY and more, I believe RumLog will do more things than just logging.  Appreciate any help, please.

 Thanks for the assistance.
