Brian:
I cannot speak for MacOS, but following the advice of someone on the
Elecraft list, I downloaded the N1MM logger for contest operation. It
runs on Windows and works very easily with the K2 (including
automatic capture of frequency and mode data). I was extremely happy
with its effectiveness in the ARRL DX contest this past winter.
Two things for you to consider:
1) There are two flavors of logging programs, contest and general
purpose. You want a contest style logger like N1MM for Field Day.
2) Do not try to send canned CW messages through the logging software
via the PC/K2 interface. Due to timing problems, they will not come
out right. Instead, use the WinKey keyer, which bypasses the PC/K2
interface and actuates the keyer via a USB line. Practically all
logging programs support WinKey.

I think I have mentioned that my students and I will be running our K2
for field day. I was wondering which logging software people have
used, especially if it interfaces to the K2 for getting frequency and
mode info. I would prefer software that runs on MacOS but we can use
Windows software. (Our Macs run both MacOS and Windows as the same
time.)
Thanks in advance.
BTW, thank you to everyone who responded to my queries about CW
operation. I really appreciate it.
