K3 - new control software

Have I been living in a cave? This software sounds very interesting for
the K3 owners. Sounds like a super replacement for the dysfunctional HRD.

You can read about it at: http://va2fsq.com/

Anyone using it that would care to comment?

Thanks,

Bill W2BLC

Re: K3 - new control software

I was a beta tester for this app. Even though it doesn't have all the add on features like HRD ( sat, dm780, integrated logbook....) it DOES have something more important to me... COMPLETE control of the entire K-line. You can control the K3, KPA500, KAT500 and even the P3...all from one very easy to use and well thought out app. AND you can do all this remotely. Sit outside around your pool and run your complete rig. For those using HRD logging, this app will interface with the HRD logger.

This is version 1 of the app. I bet we'll see some exciting new ideas show up in later revs...

Re: K3 - new control software

Looks like a great app. I do wish software developers would at least consider using a cross-platform dev environment and at least contemplate the fact that Windows is not the only commonly used operating system environment that appears in the ham shack. Thankfully, Elecraft sees the light :)

Looks like this team is on to something. I checked it out and like the features but of course the big deal is being able to control all the K-Line without out shutting down a logging program. I found the response pretty sluggish; I ran it on a Win7 quad Intel Dell laptop with no other programs running. If this team follows others we will probably see a number of good improvements and additional features.
I hope to see other options with the P3. Would be great to be able to share the P3 display over the internet without the use of additional hardware or a video camera.

Looking forward to the next versions and inter-operating with DXLabs logging and DW780.

God Bless & 73!

Just downloaded the trail version and see lots of reasons to dump HRD..!!
However, I cannot find a way to size the radio window to my monitor. I'm
sure it's something I'm not doing right.. Also, I can see the K3's frequency
information on the HRD log window but cannot control the radio form the DX
cluster within HRD.

That being said, cannot wait to see the final version and say goodbye to the
ever problematic HRD

All those functions work for me with HRD.

Did you post any setup questions to the HRD forums?

Re: K3 - new control software

Hi
There is a version dependency for HRD. Also be sure you are running the logbook and dm780 only not the control program .which version are you running?
