For my first time ever, I have a computer connected to my radio! (Thanks Elecraft for the parts and great instructions for building the KIO2 interface cable.) Now my problem is how to achieve my desired behavior with that connected Linux computer.
My initial goal is to have the computer communicate with the radio for CW contesting. Can anyone here tell me of a solution that has worked for them? My setup is a small dual-core Intel Atom desktop running Ubuntu Linux, connected from a real serial port (/dev/ttyS0) via the Elecraft cable to the K2. I tested rig control with the rigctl program, fldigi, and K2Remote under WINE. Everything appears to work well (except I don't think that I was using fldigi correctly). In particular, I was able to send CW with both rigctl (hamlib) and K2Remote. I have used Trlog for Linux before for contest logging, but I was not able to send CW from within Trlog using only the serial data connection to the K2. Is that possible or not? Do I need a serial port keying circuit as well? I have also used N1MM before for contest logging, even under WINE on Linux. >From searching online, it appears that N1MM+ will not run under WINE. When I went to look for the old version of N1MM that I had used in the past, I found that N1MMclassic.hamdocs.com is no longer online. Does anyone know how to get an old version of N1MM logger that will work with Linux under WINE? Are there any K2 owners who use Linux computers for sending CW from a contest logger? What do you do that works? -Neil N0FN ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
