[Elecraft] KIO2, Gary S, and Prolog2K

[kb1dxc]

Hello Folks,

	I keep reading messages about logging programs working with 
the K2. I have never tired interfacing a logging program with a 
radio. I would appreciate it if someone would tell me exactly what 
happens between a radio and a logging program. Does the logging 
program read code and log the call sign? Does the logging program 
automatically enter the time and frequency from the radio? What else 
might it do without input from the operator? Without knowing what 
these systems do I have no idea if it would be a worthwhile endeavor 
to interface the computer and radio. Any info regarding how these 
logging programs interface with a radio would be appreciated. 
Actually, info on anything a computer interface will allow would be 
appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike,
