K3 and DXLabs

[Gary Gregory-3]

G'Day from Downunder,

I use DXLabs with my K3 and it works great. I found HRD confusing, but then
we down under get a healthy blood flow to the head so maybe I just never got
a grip pn HRD.

All the DXLabs features.functions appear to work 100% so I'm a happy camper.

I have never had such a great radio to play with, after a month and I still
find new tricks...life is good here in the outback.

Cheers,
Gary

That's surprising. I found exactly the opposite.

It will be good when Simon gets access to many more of the K3
functions.

You're not the only one, and I'm from the old country so it's obviously not an antipodean problem. :)

I've tried HRD a couple of times and every time I just find myself hunting among the myriad of menus and panels for the simple function I want. I also get the impression you really need two monitors, one for the main HRD rig control program and the other for the data modes application, otherwise you are constantly switching windows to get at the one you want. MixW may look dated but it does everything I need and still leaves screen space over for other things.

Don't get me wrong. HRD is an impressive piece of programming and I take my hat off to Simon for the effort he has put in, and continues to put in, developing and supporting it. But it is not for me, and until today I thought I was in a minority of one!
