Can't Get My KX3 to Send CW from Main Screen in ACL


 

?

I am trying to send CW from the main form of ACL. My KX3 only shows one com port, COM3, to which I am connected.

Following the instructions in the “Using the Rig Interface command structure (RI:) in CW Transmit Settings in N3FJP contest and general logging software for the Elecraft K2 Transceiver” below, I set up initial macros for my radio.


The documentation states the following: “In order to use this feature a CAT control link must be established using the Rig Interface settings. Note that the Keying, Timing, and Speed settings in the above window are ignored. The only things that matter are the contents of the corresponding function key boxes.”

Regardless of the setup, once all entries were verified to have the correct syntax, I receive the following error:


?

I am confused. I am supposed to have a connection to COM3, yet when attempting to use any of the programmed function keys, I receive the error above.

?

The problem is that I actually got it to work once, accidentally or course, yet I cannot replicate what I did. In starting from scratch and following the instructions below I have not been successful.

?

Any help is appreciated!

======================

My conditions:

Elecraft KX3
Digirig
Microsoft Surface Go 2
N3FJP

Reference:

The relevant commands are the same for the KX3.

Hello Savi - I recently (Mar. 2025) read you post, and wanted to ask whether you were able to get your station set up to send CW from AC Log.? I have something of a similar station to yours:
?
KX3
Digirig, though I'm not currently using it.
Macbook Pro (Intel based) running Windows 10 HE through Boot Camp
External sound card (Sound Blaster G6) that has a "Line In" input
N3FJP (new purchaser)
?
I noticed that you did not list either a Winkeyer or WKmini in your station equipment list.? I'm particularly interested in whether you can send CW from N3FJP without having to purchase a Winkeyer or WKmini.
?
I would also be interested in what function the Digirig serves in your setup.?
?
Thanks and 73's
