Win4K3 Suite

tomb18
Well, my replacement for Windows for P3 is nearing completion.  I now provide full control of the Elecraft K3 with a number of unique features.
Fairly comprehensive control of the K3 with hold functions broken out of the user interface. Point and click access to functions normally requiring BSet or menu access.

Control of the P3 as before with Windows4P3 functionality.  New: ability to use a 720p web cam to display the P3 on your screen.
Control of the KPA500 from the same interface.
Inter-operability with Ham Radio Deluxe Logbook and any software that interfaces to it including DM780.
Remote access mode:  I have figured out how to stream the P3 video, so the remote access mode will allow control of your K3, KPA500 and P3 from a remote location.  So far testing shows a 1-2 second delay for the video updates of the P3.

You can see the software here

I am currently just doing some of the final tweaks before the beta test, and I invite you to contact me off line to join the beta testing.  

Requirements: Windows 7.  XP may work but is not supported.

I expect the beta to be available in 1 -2 weeks.
Thanks fort all the help so far.

Tom, VA2FSQ

Just a bit of an update...the first version has gone out to the beta testers.
But the real news is that I have now a full remote solution with a TCPIP server that connects to the K3 and P3 as well as the KPA500.  The video streaming option now is in place and works quite well streaming the P3 video over a network or the internet.
An interesting side effect I just noticed tonight.  You can connect more than one computer to the K3,P3 and KPA simultaneously through the TCPIP server.  All computers can control and get all updates simultaneously.
A question for the contesting experts:  Someone contacted me about  having the radio used by more than one person at a time at a contest station in Italy..  At the time, I didn't think much about it, but now with the TCPIP server, it seems to  be interesting.  One could for example, have two PC,s with two operators at least for listening.  Anyone have any other ideas or comments?
The full feature set will be described on my web sit tomorrow or wednesday.
Thanks
