The K-Pod (and Fred Cady’s text on macro programming) solved much of the problem for me, though I recently added a piece of equipment that greatly expands the availability of keyboard-driven macros for the K3 and the KX3 – and does a bunch of other stuff including keyer messaging and contest logging with serial number increment, which the K3 keyer lacks. The SideKar or SideKar Plus made by QRPWorks. Painless plug and play for K3 K3S KX3 and KX2. Also comes with Elecraft-level personal service from Shel, KF0UR. I have no financial interest in QRPWorks – just a satisfied customer with now more macro control capability than I know how to use.

I put in a vote for the Ham Central Terminal, too. I have one for my KX3, and it makes operating (especially in a contest) very easy. Certainly, the SideKar series would work as well.

And for completeness, we'd like to mention the QRPworks "K-Board" as another
viable option. The K-Board holds 200 messages or macros, in 10 groups of 20. And each group of 20 can be named..."Field Day", Contest A", Contest B", etc. Like the SideKar and SideKar Plus, each of the 200 slots can be a message or a macro...your choice. And each can be named so it's easier to remember what it does. That's especially useful for macros if you haven't memorized all the commands :-) And like the SideKar and SideKar Plus, you can create and modify the messages/macros using the free Message Management Utility for the PC or Mac (in addition to creating/modifying them on the device). 73, Shel KF0UR www.QRPworks.com -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
