Hi all, and apologies that my Web Start effort causes problems with
Windows 8. (I'm a linux user and was unaware.) Some quick ideas:
1. I am glad to recompile the code to not use web start.
2. I realize I never made the source code available, an oversight.
If either or both of those will be helpful, please let me know.
Also, many thanks for the kind words on the programs.
Tnx es 73,
Mike ab3ap

Unfortunately with the recent security upgrades these Java applications will
NOT execute on Windows 8.1 with Java 8 Update 40 UNLESS YOU ADD
http://udel.edu to Java's Exception Site List. Since Java doesn't like
http:// you must click to accept the risk. But the dialog in which you must
agree is hidden behind the Java security dialog and you CANNOT get to it.
And the default action is NO! So, after you depress ADD to insert the url
into Java's Exception Site List you will see the same screen you saw upon
entry. Stay calm! Depress the TAB key to move to the focus from the hidden
NO button to the hidden YES button (you can't see this) then depress ENTER.
So PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG! I will not flame or even be embarrassed. This is
a PITA!
And I don't think the JNLP code will work off-line. It still has to access
resources found at http://udel.edu.
BTW, the software is great!
Hoping to be proven wrong,

Subject: [Elecraft] K2 Settings Retrieval Software
I just wanted to remind the list of the AB3AP software found on
http://udel.edu/~mm/ham/elecraft/
I'm especially fond of the software for "K2 Settings Retrieval" about which
he says "Save your K2 set up in case of an unexpected reset."
I have just serviced a K2 where the previous owner had had soldering
problems (untinned toroids, solder bridges, ...) as well as settings which
were far off. I find it useful then to start by reading out the settings to
figure out what the starting point is, as well as backing up all the values
when the calibration has been completed.
The AB3AP software is in the form of Java programs. My web browsers don't
allow them to be run, but simply downloading the code and running them from
the command line works fine. For a PC this is "javaws params.jnlp".
