Semi-OT: Analog meters for K3

k6dgw
Folks,

I've needed to learn a new library and IDE for an upcoming ham project.  
As a learning tool, I built an "Analog K3 S-Meter and Power Meter." It's
about as done as I plan to make it, I need to replace the generic
Windows icon.  There are a couple of tiny cosmetic defects which shall
remain as historical artifacts ... "learning return" on time investment
is no longer positive.

If anyone yearns for asort-of analog-ish S-Meter for their K3, and
having put a little effort into this, I'll give it to you via email.  
It's a Windows .exe file, you just save it somewhere and double-click
it.  Requires a connection to the K3 RS-232 port, and won't work if the
port is already occupied by your logging program.  You'll have to edit a
1-line text file for whatever COM port your K3 is on, it comes with
COM11 [mine].  I'm pretty sure it will work with a K3S.  I'm less sure
with a KX3, and skeptical with a KX2or K2, but maybe [BG; SM; K31; and
PC; commands]. It will maintain a configuration file wherever you stash
it, no other writes or reads.  Avast, AVG, McAfee, Norton, and others
may be skeptical, I will guarantee that the one you get from me is
malware-free.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE:

Cost: $0.00 [cash and credit cards not accepted, PayPal very chancy]
Warranty: In your dreams
Support: see "Warranty"

Because many email clients gag on .exe attachments, it will come as a
.txtand you get to practice your file renaming skills.  Not expecting a
huge response here ... 1 would exceed expectations.  Thisis an eclectic
group, one never knows.
