New release of Win4K3Suite supporting the SDRPlay RSP2

[tomb18]

Hello,
There is a new release of Win4K3Suite.  Of note in this release is support for the new SDRPlay RSP2 in addition to the RSP1.  The SDRPlay can be used with the K3 and the IF output as a Panadapter and with a transmit / receive switch, can also be used with the KX3 and KX2 providing a Panadapter display with a maximum span of 2MHz at very low cost.

This release also has a new feature allowing Win4K3 to be used with hardware devices that only monitor Elecraft radios like antenna tuners, third party amps etc.  Traditionally, one would need to make a serial port "Y" cable so that the devices could listen for frequency and band information.  With Win4K3Suite all you need to do is plug your device into a free serial port on your system and then connect to it with Win4K3 telling it what information needs to be sent to the device. No need to fuss with cables.

Win4K3Suite is the ultimate Elecraft control program supporting all hardware and seamless integration with many third party software and hardware products.

I've been a CW operator for a little more than 65 years, and I still enjoy
it. What I can't comprehend about Win4K3 is why should I spend $50 for the
program and then have to go spend >$100 for a program that does the CW
generation for it?

Tom,
     I, too, have been at for a while, but I'm really happy to have the
adjunct. I find it is really helpful for contesting, particularly, and
pile up busting where you are throwing your call out, and out, and out,
etc. Pushing a button to send 599 TU cuts down on fatigue. It's another
useful tool in the bag along with the spectrum display that can quickly
show where there is activity, but most importantly, I can see where the
DX station is working that other guy in a split operation; this works
better than having a second receiver.

Tom,

Win4K3 is a rig control program.  It does include a panadapter display
for those who have the hardware to provide I/Q signals to a computer
soundcard - that much is built-in and does not require additional
software applications.

The Win4K3 software provides "hooks" to be able to run additional
applications that normally would want to use the communications link to
the K3 themselves - normally only one application at a time.
But Win4K3 allows the use of multiple applications that would normally
want connection to the K3 "all to themselves", and that allows a lot
more flexibility in your choice of various applications that want to
communicate with the K3.

It does not itself generate CW, but does provide the "hooks" for running
software applications which you *may* want to add.  The choice of
applications is yours to make, and the justification for the cost of
those applications is for your judgement only.  There is nothing in the
Win4K3 documentation that says you have to use any particular
application - it simply states that "these applications are supported"
by the Win4K3 software.

Hi Barry,

Well I was keeping an eye on Win4K3 because I was looking for a non-contest program that was more modern, but at the time I looked at Win4K3 the only CW generation I could find was done by purchasing a WinKey. I was just corrected by Tom in that he says his program will interface with a keyboard, so I will have to look at it again?! The reason I am interested in keyboard generated CW is because I used to run QRQ in excess of 60 wpm (up to 120 wpm) and I didn't ever attempt to push a mechanical key to those speeds. While I still use the old YPlog for QRQ (it will work, no stutter, up to 200 wpm) and NO, I never got that high!). I also switched to a Dvorak layout keyboard to enable to get my typing speed from about 40 wpm max to around 140 wpm (brief spurts..hihi).

HiWin4k3suite has built in a "Terminal" window which provides full access to the Elecraft keyer and decoding for CW, FSKD and PSKD. There is no need for additional software such as FLDIGI or anything if you do not want it. In fact it is much simpler since you do not need to work with a sound card. Of course if you wish to use a third party product for cw or digital modes it works with them also.One questions is the speed of the CW. Win4k3 will work at all speeds supported by the K3, but being software based,  is subject to the performance of the computer and the whims of the Windows operating system above about 25wpm.  This is why it will also support Winkey which uses a separate keying circuit than software. The same terminal can be used with Winkey  as well.The Win4k3 terminal essentially does what the Elecraft utility can do, as well as the P3 , the difference email being that is has full programmability and a logging interface to ADIF files, Ham Radio Deluxe Logbook, DXLABS Keeper and N3FJP contest logs.It's actually a lot of fun. I know no CW but using the CW decoding of the K3, I was able to log 50 countries during one contest without any knowledge of CW. Sort of like PSKD. 73 Tom

Tom,
     OK. You've just answered a question about what the $100 S/W cw
generation program is you referred to. Winkeyer is not a software
package. It is actually a little box that plugs into your computer and
radio. It is controlled by some program on your computer; I use Win4K3
for casual operation or N1MM+ for contesting. Your paddle plugs into the
box  so you can send by computer or by key. Winkeyer is a rather popular
interface for a lot of software packages. I have one and prefer it to
just telling my radio to key directly; I found this functions more
smoothly.

     I operate mostly contesting these days for the purpose of getting a
5 band DXCC; I'm getting close. My performance in contesting has
dramatically improved by integrating a number of functions, spectrum
display, logging, and quick response CW (20-25 WPM). This is
particularly important if you are going to put in many, many hours. I
will never get to your level; I just don't have the low loss pipe
between my ears and fingers.

[KQ5S]

When using WinKey with the K3S in semi-break in mode how do you adjust the
timing so that the K3S does not drop out between the dits and dashes?  Mine
sounds like QSK because the rig does not stay keyed.  Win4K3Suite CW macros
do the same since I have it set up for CW via WinKey.

[Barry K3NDM]

Tom,
     On page 32 of the K3s manual is a small note on this:

"K3S returns to receive mode after a time delay you set using DELAY."
This applies in semi QSK only. And, make sure you do not see the QSK
icon.

73,
Barry
K3NDM
