[Elecraft] K2 and Linux contest logging

[Neil Martinsen-Burrell]

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. It appears that regardless of the
logging program, I will need some additional connection between the radio
and the computer for CW keying. Not even N1MM+ on Windows supports keying
the K2 over the serial port using the native KY; command.

At this point, I will probably resurrect a K3NG Arduino-based keyer that I
had built before and try to use the WinKeyer support in that keyer
firmware. If that will play with TRLinux, then I imagine I will stick with
what I know (a tiny bit), but it appears that there is a wide gap in the
market for a modern GUI contest logger on Linux. ;)

Thanks again to everyone for their suggestions.
