Re: [Elecraft] K2 plus N1MM logger in CW

Hi all, Many thanks to all who replied. I updated N1MM logger to the most recent version, re-edited the macros in the manner described by K4MTX in his blog (who did it for the KX3) and it seems to work with the K2 as well. There seems to be enough space in the connectors of the pseudo-serial

One of the N1MM+ developers solved a CW stutter problem today for one of our users, which was caused by latency in a USB-to-serial adapter. The solution was to make sure you're using an FTDI adapter, and go direct to the manufacturer for the latest version of the driver. 73, Pete N4ZR Check

2014-11-25 Thread DL6OAP
Hi all, I was thinking about using my K2 with KIO2 interface together with an existing N1MM logger installation in the CQWW contest this weekend. My understanding is that N1MM does not directly support sending the KY command to the rig's control interface. However, I found some hints about

Ralf, I cannot answer your N1MM question, but I can answer with certainty about the K2 'special cable' - Yes, the 'computer' end of that cable can be plugged into a USB to serial adapter. Just do *not* plug the adapter directly into the K2 AUX IO connector. You may find some USB to serial

Thanks for the replies (also to Dave and Pete who replied off the list). I am aware of the approach that keys the K2 with the one transistor-circuit using the CTS/DTS control line, but will be running a small netbook under WindowsXP - mainly because this computer produces less rf noise than my

Knowing now that Elecraft radios with IO interfaces have the ability to send CW without an external box, why would anyone bother with external electronics? My K2 sounds great to me, as the operator, when using a paddle. When using a winkey it sounds awful. I would much rather have my logger just
