N3FJP logging program and K3S

[marvwheeler]

I tried to set up the N3FJP logging program to use with Sweep Stakes this
past weekend and was unable to make the software key the radio (i.e.
Win4K3Suite). Do I need a keying interface between the computer and the K3S
or do I have an incorrect  software setting?

 

Thanks from a not too computer literate 80 year old.

Hi,
Yes you need a keying interface.
This link gives a few options.  IMHO, having a WinKey is best

Hi Marv,

Try N1MM Logger Plus. It's an excellent program, it's free, and it keys
the radio just fine.  Just be sure to study the "Getting Started" part
of the manual, and refer to the more detailed parts of the manual for
questions.

 From a 76 year-old who's been using computers since the early '80s. :)

Just saw this. Is it possible that Win4K3Suite is getting in the way?
Contest loggers generally want to be the only software talking to the
radio.

Win4K3 virtual ports do not support DTR and RTS keying.
However there are many other ways to do so, including software PTT (if the
software supports it), a serial port keyer, or WinKey.

N3FJP will not use a com port for more than one function. Either keying or CAT control.

This was the reason I originally dropped N3FJP for any sort of contest
use many years ago.  The software won't allow you to key the rig and
control other functions via the same port, and N3FJP refused to even
consider addressing that.  Best thing that ever happened, though,
because after I switched to N1MM (now N1MM+) I discovered what a
crippled piece of software N3FJP is by comparison.  That may sound harsh
to some, but it's the truth.

And N1MM+ is totally free.
