Re: Software for KX3

As was mentioned, the software you want to use depends on what your
plans are.

I've used Ham Radio Deluxe, and the DX Suite's Commander with the KX3
with no problems. I've also used some of the digital mode software that
interfaces with both, WSJT-X for instance, and it works flawlessly.

What I like about the digital modes with the KX3, is all you really need
is the connections from the KX3 to the computer, although I use an
external USB sound card as it has a better audio frequency range, as
well as providing feedback loop isolation.

Neil,

Re: Software for KX3

I would like to know a Contest/DXPedition software.
I tried to use N1MM with some macros but I couldn't figure it out how to
make KX3 transmit the "/".
During my stay in Curacao I had to use the keyer because of that. :)
For me, this was the only thing that bothered me, sometimes the KX3 keyer
too, but if I had the computer to TX, this would not be so bad. :)
Does anybody knows if it is possible to fix that?

Re: Software for KX3

Alex,
There is a way to do it, I don't; As I recall it was too much
trouble. I use a WinKeyer USB with N1MM when I contest. I have zero
problems this way. I know it's another piece of gear, but the ease is
great and I can stop sending by just touching my key or add information.

Re: Software for KX3

In reply to this post by Neil Zampella

Alex,

What version of N1MM Logger were you using? If you were using N1MM
Classic or an N1MM Plus version older than 1.0.4429, those versions use
/ as a separator between commands. Starting with Plus version 1.0.4429,
the command separator has been changed to \, and it is now possible to
send a / character within a KY command text string.

Re: Software for KX3

That looks nice..
I used the N1MM plus, but I don't remember which version it was. I can say
that I have updated before leave on 22.11.2014.
I will try that on my next portable activation.

Thanks for the good news.
