I've updated the little bandscope I wrote to fix the problem with
unexpected messages if the K2 had previously been using another CAT
program. I've also made some improvements in operation so you can more
easily continue scanning the same band segment after clicking on a
signal. For those who

Have a look at Ham Radio Deluxe v3.1 Beta.
This is free, supports K2 and has a bandscope.
The bandscope is found under Tools.

spectacular! I've been using it for more than a year.

Ah. That must be new, then.
The band scope seems to use the same method as mine, but it's a bit slower.

It is normal when on ssb mode that if you touch your key that the K2
will mute.
Simple fixunplug your key from the K2.

It looks pretty, Jim, I'll grant it that. But MixW supports many more
modes, plus rig control and logging, and all from within one application
that needs less screen real-estate. It isn't FREE, but at fifty bucks
it's still a lot less than most ham radio products.

A while ago, I purchased a flashlight from AES which uses four bright
white LED's to produce light. The color temperature of the light seems
to be very close to daylight, and the light, while extremely bright, is
also diffused, so it will brightly and evenly illuminate something

I run both at the same time. Either MixW plus HRD, or MixW plus
N4PY. I'll have to try your bandscope. N4PY lets you do cat through a

How do they not fight over the serial port? I loaded HRD, then loaded
MixW, and it crashed with an illegal instruction. I closed HRD and then
loaded MixW on its own, and it worked fine.
My bandscope was slightly better behaved: it reported Error opening COM
port when HRD was running.

I have one of these and the transformer causes the K2 BFO modulation

You have to use a separate serial port for MixW PTT/CW and HRD CAT. HRD
uses the serial port connected to the K2, and MixW has no CAT. MixW uses
the secondary PTT/RTTY port for PTT/CW and the DTR/RTS from this port are
connected to the PTT/CW keying interface. CAT is disabled, and

It appears that tetrachromacy in the human female comes in two different
