I have used N3FJP's ACLog logging software for quite a few years. I'm not a
big contester and his software has previously done everything I needed. It
always worked very well with my FT-1000MP (I helped Scott configure his
software rig control for that radio early on and he seemed very grateful at
the time). However, although his web site indicates compatibility with the
K2 and K3, I have not found that to be entirely accurate. When I click on a
DX spot in ACLog's DX window the K3 eventually moves to the spotted
frequency, BUT the mode doesn't follow the frequency. With the FT-1000MP,
it used to automatically match the mode to the area of the band that the
spot related to (very quickly too). It seems as perhaps the information is
being sent to the K3 in a sequence that the K3 doesn't like. Mode first,
then freq. OR, freq first then mode. I don't know. And, very slow to move
to the spot frequency. I've tried changing the data reporting settings in
the ACLog software without success. All other aspects of the K3 rig control
work fine.
I called Scott, the software author, and this time he was pretty indifferent
to my K3 issue. If someone has discovered a work-around to get the N3FJP
rig control DX Spotting software in proper sync with the K3 please contact
me directly. I would appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.
