Re: [N1MM] Elecraft K3 with N1MM

[Tom Hammond-2]

Folks:

This is a response to a message posted on the N1MM Logger reflector,
but since it's
K3-related, I'm posting to Elecraft as well...

Up until about 5-6 days ago, the K3 was not able to communicate
with N1MM in BOTH directions... it could RECEIVE (and act upon)
commands from N1MM, but N1MM was not able to get info FROM the K3.

That's all changed now, and I'm helping test N1MM LOGGER on the
K3 and so far it's working quite well.

NO KNOWN STUMBLING (SIGNIFICANT) BLOCKS SO FAR SINCE THE COMMS
PROBLEM HAS BEEN ELIMINATED...!

N1MM may not have FULL K3 functionality installed quite yet.
K3CT is working with Elecraft and the FTs to get all the functionality
installed, but this takes time.

I have full faith in John's abilities however.

I'm hoping to try N1MM Logger a bit later today in the Cal QSO Party
and then again next weekend in another 'activity' as well. Will report
if I find ANY show stoppers.

In the Bavarian Contest Club and in much of the EU WinTest has become
very popular for contest logging.

Do any of the field testers have experience with WinTest and the K3 yet?

I have an older version of WT (2.28).  It does not have any Elecraft support
options.  That said, the Kenwood protocol seems to work with band changes.
But changing mode on the K3 does not seem to pick up in WT.  I don't know
what changes they've made since this older version.

That's interesting to hear. All versions of WinTest I've used in the
last 2 or 3 years, have worked nicely in Kenwood mode with my K2.

Wonder what the difference is?

It was the same thing with N1MM and some other loggers before the K3 MCU
firmware was actually written for computer control of the K3.  Initially,
the K2 firmware was simply plugged in to the K3 without regard to the
specific K3 timing.  That has migrated up the priority list recently and
been dealt with now.

At least two of us have been using WriteLog with the K3 since we got our
field test units in July.  N6XI uses WriteLog exclusively for CW, SSB and
RTTY contesting.  I use it for RTTY contesting and TR-Log for CW and
(rarely) phone.  WriteLog has worked fine although there was an issue with 1
Hz being added to the K3 frequency sent from the software.  Wayne, W5XD, is
working on that.  I'm not aware of any other problems and we've used
WriteLog with the K3 in many contests now, all modes.
