[Elecraft] K2/XV with Writelog

[Don Wilhelm]

Raj,

That certainly sounds like a Writelog problem.  If the K2 works properly
with another program, then there is nothing wrong with the K2 interface or
your connections - that leaves only the driving software and a small chance
that the sequence of commands is creating an unexpected path somewhere in
the K2 firmware.

There are methods of polling that are known not to work properly for all
combinations.  As an example, the polling done by the N4PY rig control
software causes problems if the KRC2ACC is incorporated into the setup - the
N4PY software works FB without the KRC2ACC included, and works nicely with
the KRC2 (only the 'ACC' versions gives problems).  So far, Carl has not
been willing to change his software to avoid the problem.

73,
Don W3FPR
