Logging with the K3?

[Martin-232]

Maybe this has been discussed before and i missed it:


Now that the K3 can decode & display what you type on a keyboard or key
with a paddle, wouldnt it be a nice feature to have a logbook in the K3?

Presume you are out in the field or run a contest:

For example, you hit a F-key on your keyboard, type a call & rs(t)
followed by enter.
Or, you hold a button on the front-panel while you key the call & rst
with your paddle.
The K3 stores Date, Time , Call, Mode, Band & Report.

When you are back home, you download the stored data to your computer.

HW?

As someone who has written a logbook I feel that I am in the position to
advise Elecraft not to add an internal logbook - the request list will be
never-ending! The more you do, the more requests you receive.

This sort of application is best provided by an external user-programmable
device - PDA or laptop. Look at DXLabs for a good free logbook, there are
many others out there as well - N1MM springs to mind.

New laptops cost less that half the price of a basic K3 - this is the way to
go IMO. My new DELL M1330 (a 13.3" screen) will run for six hours on the
internal battery, if you've got a power source which will support a K3 then
you should be able to power a laptop as well.

I think having a logbook bound to a radio would be as inconvenient as
having one bound to a particular computer. I'd like to see a web-based
ham log I could put on a web server and use from any computer with an
internet connection, but I haven't managed to find one suitable for
ordinary hobby hamming rather than DXpeditioners.
