Warning - if you use an external USB <=> serial adapter then get a good one,
they are not all alike. Some can't handle the strain of repeated
communications, especially with Windows 98. Some have poor driver software
which gets in a muddle.
I have come across the stalling problem a lot but not just with the K2, it's
almost always been down the a poor USB <=> serial port converter.

Rich,
I have my K2 (sn 4950) working just fine with DX Lab - commander, and with
HRD; no stalls; I had to adjust the frequency of interrogation to get it
reliable, but it seems to be quite happy in doing it. I also remember
something about setting the com port in the com tab, and the radios tab in
Commander to get it happy. (Sorry, its been a while)...

I recently completed my K2. I assume that it has the very latest
firmware. Although it works fine with k2Remote, it doesn't work reliably
with any third-party software that I've tried. I've tried the latest
version of dxLab commander, HamRadioDelux, and even purchased
HamStationExtreme. Comander won't even connect with the K2. HRD keeps
stalling when updating the frequency display. The current release of HSE
doesn't appear to work. I'm waiting for an update.
As far as I can tell from research I've been able to do, there are
firmware problems in the K2 that make the interface unreliable. Elecraft
says they don't have any room in their program space to add any flow
control. Does anyone have any information about this problem or comments
about other control software?
