The filter select codes can be modified for every mode (right click in
the band map, there are six selections). I've found the best code to
use is FW0000; that way you can cycle through all four filters from the
keyboard (Alt-'). You just have to ignore the Wide/Narrow indicator on
the band map.
The split functions are almost fixed, it appears to be common problems
with the Kenwood codes. I have two K2s set up using the two sound card
SO2R and it works great. I just wish the operator could use the setup
to its' full capability.
I know there are a few K2s out there with the ssb module, so lets see
you all this coming weekend for phone SS!

N1MM Logger is a very sophisticated piece of contesting software that
provides logging and computer interfacing for everything from one
operator - one rig stations all the way to big multioperator -
multi-rig setups in a fully networked environment. Beginning with
Version 5.10.17 (the current version is now 5.11.0), the N1MM Logger
Contesting Software now includes the Elecraft K2 in the list of radios
that can be chosen from the Configuration menu. Until now, K2 users
had to pick the generic "Kenwood" radio which used very similar
programming commands. At this point, most of the code for the K2
still uses the Kenwood commands but I understand that listing the K2
in the Configuration Options is the first step to writing code that
will be more specific to the K2.
If you are currently using an older version of N1MM, I'd encourage
you to update to the latest version in order to take advantage of the
latest inclusions. Be aware that you must first install version 5.7.2
before you can install the latest version! Carefully read the
directions on the site. So you don't loose anything, you could install
the new versions in a different directory and play with them for a while.
One item has already been the included for the K2. The "set filter
code" for one mode (SSB Wide) is now K2 specific (K22;FW99991;K0;) -
the rest of the filter codes are still in Kenwood format. If you are
interested in knowing more about setting the filter codes, you could
check out my little very non-technical treatise in the N1MM help files
and quickly set the codes for SSB Narrow, CW Wide, etc. To access
this file go to www.n1mm.com and select "Support" and then "Supported
Radios" from the menus at the top of the main page - then scroll to
"Elecraft."
Apparently a number of other items have already been "fixed" that
allow for better control over "split" functions and the use of the K2
in Single Operator Two Radio (SO2R) contesting. More will likely
follow with new releases. The N1MM Logger is freeware and available
for download at www.n1mm.com.
It's nice to see the K2 getting recognized as a serious contesting radio!
I don't have any affiliation with the group, just am a very satisfied
user of the program. 73 es gud contesting and dxing -- Don N4HH
