[Elecraft] Remote Control Programs for the K2

[George, W5YR]

Jim, I am not sure that you have to write a lot or even any of macros to
control your K2 with MixW. It lists the K2 specifically in its setup list
so frequency and mode control is provided, as well as filter selection,
etc. That alone will go a long way in giving you remote operation from the
computer.

The macros are actually very simple to write and apply - they just look
mean! 

Get a demo copy of MixW and see how well it works with the K2. The macro
business is not all that well documented, but maybe I can lend a hand later
on.
