[Elecraft] Trying to get on FT-8 with my KX2

[Neil Zampella]

Actually, the rig control when using the KXUSB cable provides frequency 
changes, as well as PTT  and split control.

As far as the 'blank frequency list' .. all you need to do is RIGHT 
CLICK in the frequency, and select RESET from the menu, the program will 
then populate the list.   When using WSJT-X and JT-Alert it logs to most 
every local logging program like DXKeeper, or Log4OM, or online like eQSL.

FWIW why do you need to use a 'virtual' port with the K3 ??
