KComm was developed to take advantage of unique Elecraft features such as sending CW, PSK and RTTY from the computer keyboard using computer control commands and taking advantage of the built-in CW, PSK and RTTY decoders. Because I was originally a user of the MixW multimode software and had several years of contacts stored in this program, KComm was designed to use the same log file format as MixW and can write to the same file that MixW uses. KComm has been developed as an easy to use Elecraft-specific logging program with support for PSK31 and keyboard CW operation. It can export log extracts in ADIF format for import into other software, and also supports Cabrillo output for submitting contest logs.
KComm is not a contest logging or award tracking program, though it can be used by casual contesters and award hunters. KComm does have some features that can be used to control the radio, such as shortcuts, which store sequences of CAT commands that can be sent to the radio to perform various actions. Its design philosophy stems from the belief that any operational adjustments, including tuning the radio, are best accomplished using the physical controls. KComm is not meant to replace the front panel of the Elecraft transceiver. Rather than try to do everything itself, KComm interfaces with some of the best available software for data mode operation and morse decoding so that you can use one logging program for all modes. KComm is meant to be an easy to use low resource usage log keeping program for the average K2, K3 and KX3 user who may be a casual DXer or contest participant. The program is developed and tested under Windows XP but it can be compiled under Linux (and could probably be made to work on Mac OS with not too much effort.) KComm has been developed using the cross platform development tool Lazarus. KComm is an amateur radio communication and logging program that has been designed specifically for Elecraft K2, K3 and KX3 transceivers.
