[Elecraft] K2 commands - software guru help needed

[Tony Wells]

Hi Stewart,

I guess in the first instance talk to the developers. A 1Sec delay after
band change should be good for a first iteration.

If someone has the time to write an intelligent "hook" that would be good.
I'm out of the loop because I'm up to my eyeballs writing a different kind
of wrapper for a much bigger, but much less interesting project :-)

Regards

Tony

Thanks for that Brendan, I was hoping that someone would give me a reason
'Why they do it that way"

That is the way I believe it should be commanded,  Frequency then Mode.
