This is a small controller for the Elecraft KX3. This is a beta version. KX3Mate is an application for controlling the Elecraft KX3, a US amateur radio transceiver. To use it, connect the KXUSB included with the KX3 to an Android device that supports USB On-To-Go (USB OTG) via an OTG USB cable and launch KX3Mate. The KX3Mate and KX3 enable easy CW and RTTY/PSK operation, and in digital mode, decoded data can be displayed and logged. Pre-edited messages for each mode can be sent with a single touch. There are also macro buttons that can be freely configured, as well as buttons with pre-set macros for functions requiring multiple actions, which can be recalled with a single touch. Numerous button visibility settings, including button presets, are customizable. * Features ** Display - Displays the KX3's VFO and mode information. - Displays the transmission time in color to distinguish transmitted messages. ** CW/RTTY/PSK Message Transmission: - Send any message you like. - Specify callsign, RST, user information, etc. using message macros. - Press and hold the TX button to erase the message. ** CW/RTTY/PSK Memory Message Transmission: - Send memory messages in CW/RTTY/PSK modes. - Up to 8 messages can be saved per mode, divided into 4 banks, for a total of 32 messages. - Message macros can be used to specify callsign, RST, user information, etc. ** KX3 Built-in Message Transmission: - Transmits KX3 built-in messages MSG1 to MSG6. ** Macro Transmission: - Transmits KX3 macros. - Up to 8 macros can be saved in 4 banks, for a total of 32 macros. ** Keyer: - Preset the keyer speed (3 types) and recall them with a button. - Use the increase/decrease buttons to change the frequency in 1 WPM increments. ** Filter: - Preset five filter bands and recall them with the button. ** Transmit Power: - Preset five transmit power levels and recall them with the button. ** VFO: - Switch between VFO A/B and increase/decrease the frequency. ** Memory Channel: - Recall the KX3's built-in quick memory and memory channel with the button. ** Mode, Band: - Recall the mode or band with the button. - The mode and band buttons can be mapped in the settings. ** Contest: - Enables contest operation. - The contest number can be set to RST+001 or a fixed number. - Outputs a Cabrillo-format log. ** QSO Log: - Saves callsign, RST, mode, frequency, OP, etc. to the storage.
