[Elecraft] Software for K2

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Craig,

For K2 rig control software, I am familiar with 2 - Ham Radio Deluxe which
is free for download and includes PSK31 (http://hrd.ham-radio.ch/), and Carl
Morescheski's N4PY software (http://www.ralabs.com/n4py/) which is not free,
but does provide CW support and supports the K1EL Winkey.  Many logging
programs can link into Carl's program - I don't know how well programs such
as Digipan or MixW for digital modes work with Carl's software because I
haven't tried it yet, but they should work together in a Windows
environment.

I can recommend either of them for the K2 - each will likely have their own
limitations.  My personal opinion is that the N4PY software offers a
smoother interface and adds several control features that are quite useful.

73,
Don W3FPR
