[Kx3] [Kx2] CW-Machine as logger

[Hajo Dezelski]

Hi,

1. my handwriting is bad
2. and I hate to struggle transfering databases of a CW-Logging program
between different computers.
3. On the other hand I would miss to look up calls I have already worked.
4. We have so fine machines that it is a pitty that we have to work with
big computers just to log some QSOs.

So I ran over the CW-Machine from Ulrich N2DE (Begali) which seems to fit,
but although reports were good, the youtube presentations left me biased.

Has someone out there hands on experience with the CW-Machine as a logging
device?

Or has anybody developed a little box (Pi, Arduino, ... without a jungle of
cables)  which could be connected with the Kxx and a Keyboard to gather
QSO-Data?

Of course a genuine solution from Elecraft would be the best thing, but as
long as it is not on the market, there will be silence ;-)

Hi Hajo,

You may want to consider a product from QRPworks.  The SideKar and Ham Central Terminal are made to work with the KX3, KX2, K3, and K3S.

It talks to the KX3 using one cable (provided) and has a logger for 1000 QSOs.  I use it all the time activating a national park here for NPOTA.

- it automatically fills in the freq., mode, date, and time
- if you enter a call to be used in messages (auto-insertion), the call will automatically be populated in the log
- you can export the log and create an ADIF file on a PC or Mac with the free software provided.
- the log has features for Field Day (dupe checking), SOTA, and any other event.
- it's low current and sunlight readable

The full manuals are available at www.QRPworks.com.
