[Elecraft] K2, FD, and N1MM

[Don Wilhelm]

Phil,

First, set the baud rate at 4800bps - that is the maximum speed of the 
K2 (the K3 can go to 38400 baud).

Did you test the setup before Field Day?  If it worked OK during that 
pre-FD testing, all the settings should have been correct.

Not getting *all* the settings correct in the software is one of the 
"bug-a-boo's" in the computer/transceiver world.  There are just too 
many combinations and permutations to give a single answer to your problem.

N1MM should fully support the K2 - I am not going to go into details 
about N1MM configuration settings, I will leave that for others.

There are many happy K2 owners out there using N1MM.

73,
