[Elecraft] N4PY K2 Software

Thu Feb 19 16:38:01 2004

DOT/PTT on the K2 battling with LPT PTT creates a 2radio switchbox a DISASTER.  I've developed work arounds for that inconvenience, but 2radio SSB is a different story.  With miles of cables running to and fro on my desk, yes, swapping cables when swapping modes is a pain....

I know I'm not the only one who thinks the PTT/DOT sharing is wacky.  I really can't see one situation where it would be beneficial.
