KX3 and iPad connectivity with RUMLogNG2Go
Posted: Tue 13. Feb 2024, 00:40
What is the current state-of-the-art for using RUMLogNG2Go on a newer iPad to interface with an Elecraft KX3 transceiver?
I have a two-year old, 5th generation, iPad. It has an Apple M1 cpu chip and supports Thunderbolt 3/USB 4 (USB-C) connectivity. It also has a Cellular connection, along with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0.
I've read some of the older posts on this forum about iPad/RUMLog2Go connectivity to KX3. The only wireless solution I found is a Bluetooth LE home-brew device. A wired solution uses the Piglet device. Are those still the only available choices, or have things advanced in the last 8 or 9 years? Any Bluetooth LE commercial products that would work?
If I use the Elecraft KXUSB cable with a USB-A to USB-C adapter to connect the KX3 to the iPad, can RUMLogNG2Go interface with the KX3?
What other options are available that will allow the software at least to read the rig's frequency and, preferably, also be able to control the rig?
Thank you.
