Building a K2 takes quite an investment of time. But, once you've completed it and made your first QSO where you proudly say "Rig here is an Elecraft K2 that I just finished building...", you have a sense of ownership unlike anything you just took out of a box and plugged in. It's a marvelous

Tnx to Andy and Bob for the feedback on this. Yes the manual says that the Main / Sub radios must be connected at 115,200 bps, and while it was some time ago, my testing here seemed to prove it true. The 890 does install 2 virtual com ports for the USB connection: standard and enhanced.
