[Elecraft] Using MixW with the K2/100

Tue Jul 2 20:02:12 2002

Hi Jim,

Well now, we are making some progress.  If I edit one of my macro buttons to
match what you have below it keys the rig perfectly.  This tells me I need a
set of MACROS that are unique to the K2.  Somehow I thought that when I
selected Elecraft in the setup configuration that would do it.  Guess not.
Does anyone have a set configured that they could send me?  I don't fully
understand the significance of what you suggested yet.  Like, what is the
meaning of +> at end of string.  Where can I find documentation on this
area?  Thanks all for your suggestion, at least this one worked.
