[Elecraft] Programmer's Reference now updated with KX2 command details

[Wayne Burdick]

The Elecraft K3/K3S/KX3 programmer's reference has now been updated to cover the KX2. You can download it at:

   http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3S&K3&KX3&KX2%20Pgmrs%20Ref,%20F8.pdf

Using information in this reference, you'll be able to write your own KX2 remote-control programs. There are over 100 commands available, covering all aspects of the radio's operation. 

For example, you can set the band (BN command), frequency of VFO A or B (FA, FB), mode (MD), filter bandwidth (BW), AF gain (AG), keyer speed (KS), and many other parameters. You can also switch to transmit (TX) or receive (RX), send CW messages (KY <text>), simulate tapping or holding specific switches (SWT/SWH), and read back the contents of the VFO A and B displays (DS and DB). 

Developers who would like to add the KX2 to their list of supported rigs will find that the KX2's command set is very similar to the KX3's. The primary difference is in the menu entries and switch-emulation commands.
