[K3] N3fjp rig control problem

I recently started having a problem with AClog which was working great
for a long time. I suspect I changed something in the K3 settings.

It seems when polling is enabled I can select a call/freq from the DX
list and the rig will follow but it is in transmit. It will only come
out of transmit if I disable polling.

I've checked all my com port selections and they are as they should be.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Gene, W2BXR

Re: [K3] N3fjp rig control problem

ACLog will not do radio control, PTT (RTS) and CW (DTR) on a single
port. Make sure the K3 MENU:PTT-KeY is set to OFF-OFF and the radio
control port in ACLog has DTR/RTS set to OFF.

Re: [K3] N3fjp rig control problem

This was one of the several reasons
(http://www.eham.net/reviews/review/78233) I abandoned N3FJP's software
several years ago. It's interesting that he's never fixed it.

I looked at his logger to help out a friend. Pretty lame, and he charges
for it. DXKeeper is far superior, well supported, and FREE.

Thinking of adding a second monitor

In reply to this post by Joe Subich, W4TV-4

GM all,

I could use some advice from those of you who use two monitors in
conjunction with your station.

I'm thinking of adding another monitor, as my shack computer monitor's
screen is pretty well filled with apps, other than those for hamming.

I have N4PY's excellent software for rig control, N1MM for logging, and
the N3FJP suite.
I also have the SVGA option for the P3.

How do you have your apps distributed?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Newegg is having a big sale on
24" monitors.
Of course, I will need to upgrade my video card to handle two displays.

Thanks in advance and 73 de Jim - AD6CW

Re: Thinking of adding a second monitor

I use two monitors on Windows 7 here. One of the better ways to set
up more than one display in any OS is to "extend" the desktop to use
both (or all N). This allows a single desktop split across the two
monitors physically, but behaving like a single monitor. So you can
just plant your apps in whichever monitor space by grabbing the title
bar and moving them where you want them.

Re: Thinking of adding a second monitor

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Thinking of adding a second monitor

Before going for 2 monitors look at the "4x" monitors that have 4 times the
real estate as normal HD monitors.

I used 2 monitors for years. The second one had a different viewing angle
and was distracting. I now have NaP3, ADS-B, logging, antenna rotor, Afedri
SDR, and Digipan (or MMTTY) all on one screen.

You may need a new video card. I bought a cheap Intel NUC with the 4x
display built in.
