Happy 2018, fellow Elecrafters!
This note shares nothing earth shattering, but something I find much
more useful than expected. Using python, a super simple programming
language, I just wrote a small k3 library of commands do simple things
like retrieve or set frequency, keyer speed, enter/leave no-Tx mode, and
so on. Maybe an hour or two of programming. As you need more commands
you simply tack on more to your code. A sample run - whose source code
any interested are welcome to - with comments is below. But programmers
can easily write their own in short order. Wayne (et al.?) have made it
a snap.
