[Elecraft] K-1 rig control

[Rick Tavan N6XI]

Yes, you can key the rig from a computer using N1MM and one of the
well-publicized circuits to convert RS-232 signals from a computer serial
port to keying levels. What people are telling you that you can't do is
"rig control," meaning having the rig tell the computer what frequency it's
tuned to or the computer moving the rig to another frequency. That requires
an interface on the rig that is not included on the K1.

Have fun!
