I want to thank AB3AP for the K2 parameter program; it is nice to be able to record all the settings on my K2. I found one thing that maybe of interest I found when I ran it if the real time clock is on it takes about 3 minutes to run vs. the real time clock off it takes about 2 minutes 15

Actually, the K2 settings are quite stable. I would recommend using this software to record the settings right after an alignment, then remove the cable. If the BFO settings are to be re-installed, know that the 4 MHz Reference Oscillator may have drifted since the last alignment. If it is

With this software, there is an increased temptation to leave the internal counter probe connected inside the K2. While that is OK for the K2/10, for the K2/100 the probe should not be left plugged in because it can couple BFO harmonics into the KPA100 resulting in spurious emissions.

Hi Don Yes, you are right. So the software should only be used right before/after adjustment and then the cable should be removed. Indeed the K2/100 I just had here had the cable plugged in, but that was not because of this software. I think it was just because the previous owner didn't know

Hi all, and apologies that my Web Start effort causes problems on Windows 8. (I'm a linux user and was unaware.) Some quick ideas: 1. I am glad to recompile the code to not use web start. 2. I realize I never made the source code available, an oversight. If either or both of those will be
