[Elecraft] [K2] Rig Control Error

[Neil Zampella]

Phil,

I've got my K2/100  running under Win10 using DXLabs Commander.    I
could never get WSJT-X running the K2 directly using the built in Hamlib
settings, or with Omnirig or Flrig.        It works fine, and I was able
to create custom controls for Commander to adjust the power if I'm
running remotely using VNC.
