K3 Micro Manual iPhone App

If you are a K3 owner/operator, you may be interested in a new iPhone application. I call it the K3 Micro Manual as it incorporates most of the K3 Owner's Manual in a handy iPhone format. It is compatible with iPhone (iOS 3.1.3 and later), iPod Touch and iPad. It has been updated to include the Owner's Manual Errata, and all firmware changes since the Owner's Manual was published. Thus, it is current through November 14, 2010. In addition, I have included operating tips from the Elecraft web site, selected emails from the Elecraft Reflector, and operating experience.

If you think you may be interested in this app, it is now available in the Apple App Store. It is listed under the Reference category. Just search for "K3 Owners Manual" or "ks7d." I welcome your input on enhancements to this application, and for your favorite operating tips. I plan updates over time to this app to keep it current with the latest Elecraft Owner's Manual, and to add new features.

Following is the table of contents for the app:

Hopefully, I can follow this iPhone version with a version for Android phones. I need to get an Android phone to test the application on before it is released. Testing in the emulator is fine, but it must be checked out on actual hardware before release.

Re: K3 Micro Manual iPhone App

Great App.
Yes, downloaded it, has everything on your iPhone in one place.
No need to take a manual with you into the field for FD or a DXpedition!!
Firmware dates up to 4.22
Its not free but at 0.59 p well worth it.
I also have the k3 programmer's guide App.

Re: K3 Micro Manual iPhone App

Yes, great idea, I didn't realise there was a programmers guide for iPhone - got that too.

I love the small cost of these apps - it works so well, because there are so many iPhone users, those 59p payments add up real quick.
Thank you

Mike,

Nice job. This might be the best 99 cents I've spent for
a IPhone app.
