hi - perhaps one of these ideas will be helpful - I have used the K2+XV50 with writelog with no problem, so I would not think it is likely a software bug (unless it got broken in a later revision, still unlikely):

- is the rig frequency changing or just what writelog displays? I would assume the latter - it sure sounds like random data coming in.

- does it also do this without the XV hooked up?

- make sure you are selecting "Elecraft K2" in the Ports... setup.

- make sure you don't have any other activity also programmed for that COM port (CW etc.)

- I don't know this to be true, but perhaps N1MM and writelog do have differences (timing etc.) in the way that they make use of the port - I would still double check your cable assembly and make sure it is wired correctly for the K2 to rig and there are no shorts etc.

Hope one of the above ideas helps lead to a solution! - j
