DXLab Commander K3 user-defined controls & sliders

[N7US]

I uploaded my DXLab Commander user-defined controls and sliders (just AF and
RF gain so far) for the K3 to the DXLab Yahoo Files folder:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dxlab/files/Command%20Sequences%20%26%20Slider
s/Elecraft/ .

Though the K3 has the capability of using front panel keys for macros, the
DXLab Commander rig control program sequences (macros) can be longer and
don't use the radio's buttons.

I am using those I uploaded though they can serve as examples that can be
adapted to other applications.  One simply switches VOX on and off instead
of using the press and hold key on the radio.  Another mutes the AF gain.

I have two more complicated ones that switch between a front-panel mic and a
rear-panel mic, changing the TX EQ, mic gain, compression, and VOX gain.  In
my files, the rear-panel mic is a Heil HC-4, and the two front panel mics
are my old Shure 444D and a Heil PR-781 set up for non-pileup use
(ragchewing but not ESSB).  The settings I'm using are for my voice, so
you'd need to adjust them for your preferences.

I used the help documentation at
http://www.dxlabsuite.com/commander/Help/CommandSequences.htm ,
the K3 Programmer's Reference Manual, and the K3 Utility Program help file
to understand how to set them up.  Since I'm posting this to two reflectors,
the DXLab Suite site is http://www.dxlabsuite.com/.

You can simply download the files into the Commander\Sequences or
Commander\Sliders folder and load them, editing them to customize them for
your use.  You have to check the box in the Commander Configuration General
panel to "Show user-defined controls panel."

Hi Jim.  I've been using DXLabs as my main logging program with the K3 for some time now.  For me, it is
the best and most flexible available....mainly for the rig control capabilities that you mention.  But
also for the Elecraft type support that Dave provides.  He is very fast to respond to questions and is
always a huge help if needed.

I do use N1MM for contesting and then I just import those QSOs into DXLabs.  I also take advantage of the
Launcher that allows you to start programs along with user definable delays before any of the suites
modules load.  I use this for LPBridge, SO2RBox program, SkimmerServer...etc.  The only thing I have not
been able to get it to start correctly is Wintelnet.  It will Start the program OK but in the short cut I
have it launch the ini file using -start.  But I cannot get the launcher to start that.  Everything else
runs fine.
