[Elecraft] Another Glowing Review of the K2

[Charles Greene]

Steve and All,

A lot of contesters use software to control both VFOs and concurrently do a 
lot of other things too, so a second knob is not really necessary.  In 
fact, the existing knob is not used either while under software 
control.  Writelog and N1MM Logger are two such programs, although I have 
not used Writelog with the K2.  I have used N1MM Logger and CAT control of 
one K2 using SO2V (single operator 2 VFOs) and or 2 K2s using SO2R (single 
operator 2 receivers) with both of my K2s.  Works very well.  This puts the 
K2 clearly in the class with the Orion and 1000D, and you can buy two for 
less than the price of either one.  Don't misunderstand, you don't need two 
K2 any more than you need two Orions, or two 1000Ds to operate the 
transceivers two VFOs.  You can download a copy of N1MM Logger by doing a 
search of the Internet for N1MM.   It is freeware.
