[Alan Price-3]

Has anyone used the Navagator US Interface with the K3?  If so, were you happy with it?

I've been using the Navigator with the K3 for a couple of years now and am
totally satisfied with it (well almost, see below)! I bought the interface
cable from US Interface (which I recommend) and it works great. All the K3
FW upgrades go straight thru with no problem.

If you already have the Navigator you know that the setup takes somewhat of
an effort to get all the virtual com ports set up. But once that's done is
runs like a champ.

Here is the "almost": I run primarily CW and the built in Winkeyer works OK
but there is one problem I have run into. I can't seem to get full QSK to
work with the Navigator/Winkeyer/K3. There is always a slight break-in delay
even with full QSK set on the K3. It's not usually a problem with normal
operation but does effect contesting or DX chasing. I haven't tried to track
down a fix for this thru the Navigator group. I usually just switch to the
K3 keyer if I really need the QSK.

I am sending a copy of this reply to the Navigator group so maybe Clint or
someone over there can shed some light on the problem.

Hope this helps,

Don,

I have been using the Navigator for about 1.5 years, first about a year with
a TS-480....now about 6 months with the K3.
Works flawlessly....excellent technical support when needed.....highly
recommended.
