[Elecraft] K2, FD, and N1MM

[engineercm]

All of the suggestions made about the cable and the COM settings are valid. 
I'd like to add one more:  the type of RS-232 hardware in your computer.  I
could never get my K2 to run with RS-232 dongle (this was before the K3
dongle was available) and have used a "real" RS-232 card in the shack
computer.  I think the FTDI chipsets are better, but even those I could not
get to work.  

If you are seeing the frequency reflected in N1MM, then your data com
between the K2 and the computer is fine.  What little contesting I've done
using N1MM I have found to work fine with my setup.

Data com issues are notorious to track down.  Good luck and keep at it.
