New release of Win4K3Suite...set your clocks!;

[tomb18]

Hello,
There is a new release of Win4K3Suite.  This release adds a number of usability enhancements for the K3, K3S and KX3 which include:
One button synchronization of the radio clock with the PC clock (!)
Addition of two presets in the ClubLog spotting wiondow allowing two sets of band filters e.g. day and night filters.
Assignment of the PC function keys F1 to F8 to radio macros.
Preview functions for the various messages in the radio terminal and many more!

Win4K3Suite is a comprehensive control program for the K3, K3S, and KX3 supporting all options such as the KPA500, KAT500 P3 as well as LPPan.  It includes a built in serial port router that seemlessly allows connections of third party programs such as DXLabs, Log4OM, N1MM+, NAP3 as well as HRDLogbook and DM780.  In addition, it allows you to easily interface your own hardware (such as the Android)  and software through the built in router with no conflicts from other software packages.

I would be interested to hear supported opinions as to which is better
and why between:

Win4K3Suite and Ham Radio Deluxe.

W4K3 is $50
HRD is now $100 for a new license and $50 a year for support (optional)

Go!

PS - I would have avoided this IF I could remember how to search the
archives... maybe.  (having one of THOSE days).

Clay, if tracking US counties is of interest to you, HRD doesn't.

Only my personal views of course. I've used both since their each started and have the paid-for versions of them (the free HRD is not the same as the paid-for version).

4K3 can read/write the KX3 memories and their internal little labels. HRD can't control the KX3 memories directly, BUT it does have its own internal "favourites" (with longer labels and a hierarchical structure) which may be used to set the Tx/Rx frequencies, which I find more useful. If 4K3 implemented such functionality I probably wouldn't use HRD at all.  

Both applications are complex (easy to understand if you've grown up with them but far too many options at first sight if you haven't) but 4K3 is less so. Probably HRD is more complex because it is more general purpose and supports far more radios. It includes modules to do far more than 4K3 including digital modes, more logging options, rotator controls, satellite tracking etc.

Both have "manuals" that explain the menus - which is not the same as explaining how to use the applications to perform specific tasks - obviously written by the developers not by users. Both could do with a "how to ..." manual.

Both work fine under Windows 10 and are regularly updated to add new functionality. Because 4K3 is more rig specific, the updates seem more useful, updates to HRD seem recently to be concentrating on more peripheral functions.

I hope this helps.

Sorry if there are any typos,

Just my personal opinion with experience of both

There is not much difference between the paid version and the latest free version of HRD,

Both compliment each other and work together - W4K3 works with HRD, so I would go with
the latest free version of HRD and ALSO the W4K3. They do overlap on some functions,
where they can do the same thing. IMHO the W4K3 is excellent for the PanaFall display of
the band, and is also excellent for getting to menu functions quickly, and everything you
need is one mouse click on the display. HRD is good for it’s logging program, digital modes
rotor control, cluster - point and click on a DX spot and instant QSY etc etc

They both talk to each other so it would be best to get both, but to save on costs get the free
version of HRD.

[Jim - N4ST]

Long time user of HRD and after the growing pains of new owners it has
settled down and for me, the major kinks have been ironed out.
I do however, use both HRD and Win4K3.
I don't run the HRD main program, but allow Win4K3 to launch and control
DM780, HRDlog, WSJT-X and JT-AlertX.
They all play well together and I can keep using my HRD Logbook which holds
+45 years of QSOs.
I prefer the rig management features of Win4K3 for my K3, but drop back to
the main HRD program if using my Ten-Tec Omni VII

[Bill-3]

I am using the last free version available - it is perfect for my needs:
RIG CONTROL. The rest of the stuff is all fluff to me - unused.

I run both my K3 and TS480 from the screen by chasing the mouse. There
are a couple of buttons that do not indicate as they should, and I would
buy the new version if I thought the problem had been corrected.

I asked HRD support and they said to buy it and I would be happy - never
did directly answer my three or four simple questions. I did not buy it.
I have asked a couple of other times about the button issues and never
received a real answer.

I would buy the new HRD immediately IF the button issues have been
corrected. If not - I'll stay with the free.

Digital? Very simple - I use Airlink on my 480. Super easy - turn on the
SignaLink, start Airlink, and make contacts (25 Watts). To go back to
SSB - just turn the SignaLink off and pick up the mic (PTT) for 100 Watts.

Got carried away - sorry.

Bill W2BLC

Hi,
You can define the function keys F1 to F8 to be any macro for the radio that
you wish.  Macros can contain any combination of K3, KPA500, KAT500 and P3
commands.

Larry,

To answer one of your questions, the ONLY program that can update the
K3/K3S/KX3 firmware is the (free) Elecraft utility program.

Larry,

The Elecraft firmware can only be updated by using the appropriate
specific Utilities - K3 Utility, P3 Utility, KPA500 Utility, KX3
Utility, PX3 Utility, KXPA100 Utility, etc.

Clay,
      Congratulations on the license!
I suggest DXLabs suite instead, its *free*, great support (the only one
that comes close to Elecraft in support, maybe even better) and does a
great job of interfacing with my K3, with great dxcc and other award
tracking.

Tom,

Great job with the new release for Win4K3 Suite 1.790!

I just tested my function key macros I used in N1MM+ to control key
commands.  Now, no matter which Win4K3 Suite window is in control, I can
use all the same Function Keys.

There is a recent update of the Elecraft programming manual.  Anyone
interested in doing macros should refer to that.

I tested:

- Sending text for CW and RTTY
- Activating the memory buttons of the K3
- Activating A>B, Split, UP 2 for working spit once I QSYed from to a
search and pounce via the  spectrum display.
- Tuning the rig

I found a bug in the Elecraft PC command.  I sent the DEV group the issue,
I can not get it to change the power to 50w or 100w.  I verified via the
Elecraft K3 tool.

I also like the Winkeyer interface.  It provides fastest response for
sending CW command using the DVR memories or the KY command.  There is no
latency with the K1EL winkeyer.

I also tested entering log entries into my HRD log.  All is good.

73 and GUD DX,

Doug NA1DX

I also want to thank Tom for the new release;  I just upgraded to  64 bit Win7, and all sorts of mischief ensued.  Tom helped sort out driver problems with Com0Com, and with the new Win4K3 I'm back remoting my station.   Great support and excellent software.

73, Chuck, N8CL

Hi
There were a couple of people that pointed out that for the elecraft
terminal window, it would be more appropriate to have the function keys F1
to F12 correspond to the messages 1 to 10 instead of macros.
So, I uploaded a new version 1.792

What we now have, is when you are in the terminal  (it has focus) F1 to F10
correspond to the messages you define in the terminal. (Message 1-10).
In all other windows the F1 to F10 keys will send a macro as defined in the
Tools Settings.

Also, I have added the ability to quickly edit a message.  Now when you
right click a message button and select edit, a small window will show up
with only that message.  You can change it quickly at this point.  Much
faster.

Thanks for all your support.
73 Tom

Hello Tom;

I had a great time using the KX3 with the Win4k3 during the CQ RTTY
contest this weekend.
The N1MM software linked up to the Win4K3 and KX3 pretty easily using
the Com0Com.


Much Regards,
Dwight
