I'm a couple of hours away from the Mac & K2 I use together, so I can't 
check, but as I recall to make the Microkeyer work required a) clicking 
the mH box to let MacLoggerDX know it's dealing with a Microkeyer, b) 
choosing the right port & speed, c) untoggling DTR and RTS.   Also make 
sure you're using the latest version of MacLoggerDX - Don has recently 
added the ability to toggle type-ahead and also auto character spacing 
with the Microkeyer.

If this doesn't work, drop a note to Don Agro (author of MacLoggerDX) - 
he's great about support, and when I had questions he brought the 
Microham folks into the loop as well.
