Monitoring Elecraft Radios
for Sight-Impaired Hams

   This article is for sight-impaired amateur radio operators interested in using rig monitoring with an Elecraft radio. The monitor discussed here is a personal computer that displays the radio settings on the screen for improved visibility. Magnification software can also be used.

Monitoring Software

   Elecraft does not provide specialized software for this purpose.

   Ham Radio Deluxe is on the Elecraft list.

   Flrig is a multi-platform (OS X, Linux, Windows) rig monitoring and control program that also works with K2 and K3 radios. 

KX3 Accessibility

   KX3 transceivers have a built-in option for CW feedback about settings. The HamPod K3 Reader speech synthesizer device also works with KX3 radios. The separate article on KX3 accessibility gives more details.
