Hi - if this post is not acceptable - mods feel free to delete - my purpose is not to offend or 'sell'
This is not directly related to the K3 - which I am very happy with - but TRX works with the K3 AND my SteppIR - so thought it might be of interest... also - my next project is to get Laurent F6DEX to
FULLY - and I mean FULLY implement all the possible controls of the K3.
so:
Laurent, the author of 'TRX-Manager' just made the following post on the TRX-Manager Yahoo group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TRX-Manager/"TRX-Manager V 4.2.1 is ready. Main change is addition of a
comprehensive SteppIR control Interface (STEPPIR protocol). Please see the help for setup (important information to be read).
Special thanks to John VE3NFK for testing and Jim @ SteppIR for support." www.trx-manager.com
This new addition to TRX gives you full control of the SteppIR - beam and vertical from your computer screen - including 'home' and 'calibrate' at a button press - something I have wished for a long time.
It is not perfect - as the SteppIR RS-232 protocol is not a complete set because there is not enough memory left to get it all in - but it works very well.
TRX is not free - but does have a 30 day trial.
Disclaimer: I have no financial interest in TRX - but Laurent is a friend and I am a Alpha tester.
