[Elecraft] N1MM Logger and the K2

The filter select codes can be modified for every mode (right click in 
the band map, there are six selections).  I've found the best code to 
use is FW0000;  that way you can cycle through all four filters from the 
keyboard (Alt-').  You just have to ignore the Wide/Narrow indicator on 
the band map.

The split functions are almost fixed, it appears to be common problems 
with the Kenwood codes.  I have two K2s set up using the two sound card 
SO2R and it works great.  I just wish the operator could use the setup 
to its' full capability.

I know there are a few K2s out there with the ssb module, so lets see 
you all this coming weekend for phone SS!
