In CT, CTWin, NA contesting programs the PTT delay is
used to immediately key the radio (and amp, if used), delay
the keying from the program for a user defined time, send
the CW from the PC buffer and quickly drop the PTT.
PTT delay will not work with the K2 because it is common
to the dit line, or it will key the radio to full power, depending
on how the keying is set up.
I'm not sure about N1MM WroteLog and TRLog, but I believe
they are the same.
I have a box with a couple relays and a transistor to use LPT1
pin 14 to switch the keying line, amp relay line and eventually
(when I get around to it) switch RX audio.
Probably by the time I'm done with my homebrew box I'll have
the price of a DX Doubler and then some in it!

Just as a reminder to those of you who are contemplating SO2R operation with
the K2 - the stock K2 cannot properly use PTT for steering between the
transceivers when in CW mode because the PTT line is the same as the DOT
input. If the SO2R enabled program steer CW by switching the keying, things
will work fine, but I believe there are some that key both rigs and depend
on the PTT routing to select the proper transceiver. I am investigating the
methods used by various programs right now.
There is a 'cure' - take a look at my 'PTT for CW' article on my website
www.qsl.net for the schematic. The photos currently have my 'haywired'
prototype, but I am working on a dressed up version that I should have
completed in about 3 weeks. No changes to the electrical operation, but a
much 'prettier' packaging arrangement.

I used a TopTen DX Doubler to interface the PTT and mic audio
between the two rigs. Works fine.
