[WT-support] [Fwd: [Elecraft] DVR from software]

[I4UFH HRS]

Hi Guys

SO2R with 2 PC's and 2 Keyboard is not the real best way to have all under ur control, need to move ur hands between keyboard to type call in different keyboard may be with different layout
or different windows focused.

The WinTest approach is a wining aproach from my point of view, obviously with some hard to remember approach, but is only a matter of time u will be a master in short time.

The K3 DVK idea seems a good one, avoiding to have PC connection, or external DVK, i don't see any particular issue to add, it even in SO2R, simply configure the K3 DVK as External DVK that need to send command to the K3 serial port ...

I am evaluating a set of 2 K3's for my next SO2R effort and minimize the external hardware setting should be a great choice.

In the mean time doe's any one knows if with the 2nd receiver in the K3 is still possible receive in when trasmitting ? as SO2Receive ? Of this can be done should be needed only one K3 with 2nd RX, because most of the time on the 2nd radio is spent to seach on CQ with 1 radio, or in assisted click and QSY on the spot .. ( with pan adapter on 2nd receiver u can really do that also in not assisted .. )

Thank's

Fabio I4UFH

    One should consider implementing the new concept SO2K for "single op, two keyboards"! (yeah, I'm jocking

  Hey, don't joke about that!  Many SO2R operators prefer to use two keyboards, with two PCs side by side.  But then they have to use hardware lockout circuits to prevent transmitting on both rigs at once.  Ugh.


  Many SO2R ops think it would be great if you could network two Win-Test computers for SO2R mode, with software lockout and message queuing, e.g., press [F4] on keyboard two to call a mult on Radio 2, then immediately press [F1] on keyboard 1 to queue up a CQ message on radio 1, a message that will only be sent after the [F4] finishes sending your call on Rig 2.


  To do the same thing in Win-Test today requires many more keystrokes, careful timing, or lots of complex scenario programming and S&P message programming.
