Uninstall and reinstall the app for this update!

The KX3 Companion is an app designed to enhance the functionality of your Elecraft KX3 HF radio, making operation easier and more convenient without the need for a PC.

It enables you to send and receive CW, PSK31, and RTTY using your mobile phone or tablet keyboard. Additionally, you have the option to utilize an external Bluetooth keyboard connected to your Android device.

You can create up to 10 macros with dynamic symbols that automatically update Call, Name, QTH, and Locator information.

The app connects to your KX3 via the USB Serial cable provided with the radio. You will also require an inexpensive OTG Cable adapter to connect the serial USB to your mobile device, which can be found for a nominal cost. No other cables are necessary.

KX3 Companion also allows you to record complete QSOs and log them for potential export to your preferred QSO logging software or service.

The new SWR Meter feature lets you sweep a frequency range and view a chart displaying SWR values. You can choose between 3 to 13 steps, with each step ranging from 5 to 500 kHz. The maximum number of steps varies based on screen size and orientation.

With KX3 Companion, you can:

• Send and receive CW, PSK31, and RTTY using your Android device keyboard
• Read and write messages with ample character space
• Utilize XMIT (Chat) Mode for transmitting as you type
• Switch between modes (CW, PSK31, RTTY)
• Set frequencies and navigate bands
• Record and recall customized macros
• Adjust CW WPM value with a slider
• Create presets for various settings
• Customize serial baudrate and date formats
• Record full QSO logs in CSV and ADIF format
• Log RST values and contest serial numbers
• Use the SWR Meter feature

• Access remote control capabilities for the KX3
• Support Piglet functionality (http://pignology.net/piglet)

Additional features such as eQSL.cc support, serial over Bluetooth functionality, and audio spectrum/waterfall display are in development.
