>Unless I have missed a turn in the road here. You haven't missed a thing, as long as you're talking CW! The simple interface I described is all it takes. Don's embellishment should be fine too -- just a slightly different way to skin the cat. Bottom line -- all it takes for Writelog to send CW to the K2 via the computer serial port is either one transistor, a resistor, and two diodes, or two transistors and two resistors. As has been noted, Writelog talks to the K2 just fine.
