This sounds real neat, but I see some potential for a conflict. Let's
say that I have WriteLog running with your software. I currently use
WriteLog to generate CW on the DTR line, taking the DTR line out at the
rig end of the serial cable to the keying port (through an NPN
configured as a polarity inverter). Can WriteLog key the K2 through
serial commands to the K2, or do I still have to use the DTR line? And
does that work when your software has the serial port?
