[Elecraft] Using MixW with the K2/100

[Art Horne]

Hi all,

Well I guess I'd better take some more time to understand this program
before I bother you guys any more.  After spending some more time tith it
I'm able to answer my own question that I asked previously re: +>.  + gives
AR and > terminates the text sent to the K2.  I found where you defina all
the macros and am beginning to get a better idea of how this all works.

One thing that still has me stumped is that when the string shown below is
sent it always adds a "I F" after the AR. IE:  ..... K6KFH AR I F.  I've
tried a variety of ending characters and they are always followed by I S.
Any ideas why????  Thanks again.

Art
