[Elecraft] K2 CAT Command Question

[Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

Sorry about the rig type error.  I have not tried accessing the K2 with 
K3 Utility, but I do not think it will work.
I would suggest using a terminal application rather than HRD. for those 
menu changes.  Slowing the rate at which HRD polls the radio would be a 
good thing - HRD really pounds the radio hard with polling commands, so 
get it out of the way and use something else to manipulate the menus.

73,
Don W3FPR
