[Elecraft] K2 opinions sought

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

Unless you are dead set on doing that in a hardware interface, try Ham Radio
Deluxe or the N4PY software - what you want to achieve is already programmed
into them (or can be customized for that function).

If you wish to create a hardware interface, I might suggest that the easiest
path is to have the new hardware buttons buttons interface with a
microprocessor that in turn sends the appropriate commands ot the K2 through
the KIO2.

To do a direct hardware implementation without the processor, one would have
to provide a lot of connections and signals to the K2 microprocessor, and
that would take more circuits that it is worth in my opinion.

73,
Don W3FPR
