[Elecraft] KIO2

I received the KIO2 yesterday in the mail and built it last night. I thought
it would be cool to operate my K2 with my computer and guess what, it is!

I happened to have had Commander 4.0.4 installed on my computer and I used
it to test the KIO2 out. After tests were preformed I started looking for a
more robust program to use with the K2. I had downloaded Ham Radio Deluxe
v1.1 beta as mentioned in the reflector and I am impressed. It makes it so
easy to do some of the things the K2 can do, but without digging in menus or
pulling out the manual.

I have a couple questions now:

1. Are there any other must checkout software packages that use the KIO2. I
don't mind loading and trying programs, but I would just as soon skip those
that are far below Ham Radio Deluxe.

2. Does the KIO2 handle any digital modes directly?
