“An app specifically made for the Elecraft KX3<\/a> is KX3Companion (www.kx3companion.com<\/a>). There are free and paid versions on Google Play (does not work on Kindle Fire).<\/p>\n

The same author has created KX3 KeyApp to give a virtual set of keys for KX3 users. It comes with two predefined templates (CW, and default) with KX3 macros setup for use.<\/p>\n

Finally, he created QRSS Beacon \u2013 A fully featured QRSS (Slow CW) Beacon on Android. You can select a DIT duration from 1 to 60 seconds and choose one of the 3 supported modes: QRSS, FSK\/CW and DFCW. This works on any radio, connect the audio out of your Android device to the audio in of your radio and an enable VOX.<\/p>\n

Also, HamLog is available on iOS & Android (there\u2019s even a MAC version).”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many thanks for sharing this, Neil! \u00a0I will add the KX3 Companion apps to our comprehensive list of ham\/shortwave radio apps<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
