K3: Setting up WriteLog software to toggle KDVR3

[Frederick Atchley]

I need help setting up WriteLog ver11 to toggle The KDVR3.

Based on the manual, I've set keyboard shortcuts for four unused keyboard
characters: ( [ ), ( ] ), ( \ ) and ( = ). WriteLog accepted these as:

Rig1Command(10)

Rig2Command(11)

Rig3Command(12) and

Rig4Command(13)

I then added the following K3 KDVR3 commands (i.e. SWT21 should toggle M1)
to writelog.ini that resides in the Windows file:

[Elecraft_K3_Commands]

Macro_10=SWT21;

Macro_11=SWT31;

Macro_12=SWT35;

Macro_13=SWT39;

When everything is up and running, I get the following indications when I
press the keyboard shortcuts:

[ -> Error result 1 sending rig command (10)

] -> Error result 1 sending rig command (11)

\ -> Error result 1 sending rig command (12)

= -> Error result -3 sending rig command (13)

Note: the WriteLog K3 interface driver is working FB for logging, Frequency
tracking and CW messages for F1, F2 . etc.

The K3 firmware version is 4.39 and the hardware interface is a microHam USB
Interface II (serial# 001)

That's it in a nutshell. Thanks in advance for any help from the Elecraft
blog.

Hi Fred,

The number between Rig and Command must be your COM port number. So if you are using COM 1 for the K3 then all four of your macros should say Rig1Command(xx). (I don't know if a Microham interface affects this situation).

Also, make sure your macro definitions are in the correct writelog.ini file. I know there are true ini files and mirror image ini files. I run Vista and my ini file is in the Windows directory but this may not be true for all operating systems. Be very careful. And your definitions should be preceded by the following:
