[Elecraft] [K2] WSJTX -W10 Rig Control Error - PROBLEM SOLVED

[Neil Zampella]

FWIW ... I use DXLab's DX Commander with my K2, and have full CAT
control.  Not using a Rigblaster, but connecting through the RS-232
cable, CAT works fine.   I've worked a DXPedition using this setup, and
the Fox/Hound mode worked perfectly.
