Wouldn't hurt to try it. The basic commands (freq mode etc.) are the same between the K2 and K3. Since the K2 and K3 basics are Kenwood compatible, I'd bet LP Bridge would handle a Kenwood nicely too.

It doesn't work for any rig other than the K3 (AFAIK). ~iain / N6ML On Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at 5:17 PM, Don Wilhelm <[email protected]> wrote: > Jim, > > I would rather suggest you look at LP-Bridge by Larry Phipps.
