[Elecraft] K2 Control Cable Question - Recap

[Jim Campbell]

Thanks, Tony. One of the components of Com0com is Hub4com and that would 
probably do the same thing that VSP Emulator does. Having gotten VSPE 
working I am too lazy to try and get Hub4com to work :-)

Anyone coming along later and needing something like this will benefit 
from your suggestion.
